God is a Fair Judge

Proverbs 20:22

Don’t say, “I’ll pay you back for the evil you did.” Wait for the Lord. He will make things right.

When David spared Saul's life, Saul felt grateful and admitted that David was more righteous than himself. However, after some time, Saul went back to pursuing David. Someone informed him that David was hiding in the hill of Hachilah. Saul went there with his 3,000 men. David heard about this and went to see Saul in the camp at night with Abishai, one of his men. When they reached the camp, Saul and all his soldiers were sleeping soundly. Abishai wanted to kill Saul but David's forbade him from doing that. He said that the Lord Himself would punish Saul. David spared Saul's life again.

David understood that God was the only rightful Judge between Saul and himself. Seeking revenge makes you become as bad as the person that has ill-treated you. Do not fill your mind with revenge. The Bible teaches us to wait for the Lord to make things right.

God sees all things including your pain and tears. Let God be the judge and make things right according to His will and plan.

Prayer

Dear God, thank You for Your word. May Your peace, strength and comfort be upon my heart. Amen.
