“Recompense to no man evil for evil…for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord” (Romans 12:17,19).
When someone does something wrong toward us, the first thought in our natural hearts is to think of some way to do something in revenge to them. That is why we see so much “road rage” on the highways today. That is why fights break out between people. That is why there are so many shootings today, especially in North America. Someone feels disrespected or wronged, and they fight back.
But our verses for today tell us not to do this. Rather, we are to remember that it is the Lord’s job to take vengeance on people who do wrong; it is not our job. The Lord sees all the wrong done in this world, and He will punish those who have wronged others. Our job as Christians is to show grace and love, and to tell them about Christ.
