DAY 18 OF 21

Have you ever felt frustrated when someone seems to carry on without a care in the world after they’ve hurt you? Our instinct is to seek justice or get revenge, but Paul’s words encourage us to reconsider. They remind us that, while injustice is real, the responsibility for making things right ultimately belongs to God. This doesn’t mean we should sit back and accept what’s happened; instead, it’s an invitation to trust that God understands the whole picture. When we choose not to take revenge, we create space for God to work—not just in the lives of those who’ve wronged us, but in our lives, too.

Today, take a moment to reflect on this question: What might happen if I allow God to handle my difficult situation? Reach out to a trusted adult to ask for support and prayer over this specific thing.
