Do Not Be Quick to Retaliate

Dr RJ Sing

“Say not thou, I will recompense evil; [but] wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.”
Proverbs 20:22

When someone has done you wrong, don’t be quick to retaliate. Allow God to speak to your heart about how to respond. He knows the situation and He will work things out in your favor if you let Him.

Many times people react too quickly when they are wronged. Do not be quick to seek revenge when you are wronged. The Lord is well able to deal with situations that are adverse. You must wait for His intervention. The Lord is a specialist in dealing with people or situations that come up against you. As you consider the wicked and their ways, know that they shall be overthrown. So, do not allow yourself to be seduced into wrong thinking.

You are a wise man/woman and your house is filled with an abundance of provisions. Every decision you make is full of wisdom and as you have a life of vitality, wealth and prosperity. Begin to walk offence free and be quick to forgive people around you. Pursue love and righteousness. Be careful not to speak negative things that bring calamity into your life. Don’t be quick to seek revenge when you are wronged. The Lord is a lot better at it than you are. Wait for His intervention on your behalf.
