Jehovah will save

Scripture:

Proverbs 20:22 "Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for Jehovah, and he will save thee".

Observation:

Solomon tells us here that, rather than fighting for ourselves and bringing retribution for evil, we should wait for the Lord and He will save us.

Application:

When we take judgement into our own hands, we are stopping God from bringing the judgment He would bring.  We need to trust the Lord, even when it comes to being hurt by others.  We need to learn to leave them in God's hands and allow Him to punish.  OUr job is to forgive, His job is to fight on our behalf.

Prayer:

Father, help me to forgive quickly and easily and leave people to You.  You are my defense.  Help me to trust You more and more.

Yours,
Jeff
