Love Brings True Justice

If you’re talking to snakes, I have this advice for you. Stop it! Why? Because the voices in your head telling you to say this, do that, or turning you paranoid against people who love you, are the voice of the enemy himself.

You know what I’m talking about. When you relive past hurts by practicing a conversation you really shouldn’t have. Why am I telling you not to get some of your own back – a little revenge to get even for wrongs committed against you?

Because they don’t belong to you! They belong to God. Your Father is in charge of handling the people and situations that lay you low, not you. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He will battle for you.

Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord. – Romans 12:19

You see, the Father is uniquely equipped to bring the weapon of redemption onto the battlefield. When redemption is applied to the situation, revenge becomes justice! Isn’t that awesome? Justice is when the poor have opportunity and the widow has security. Justice is when the orphan has a name.

The Bible tells us the devil is a liar and a thief. He loves to steal your job, security, relationships, opportunities, reputation, and your territory for the Lord. If he can take your ministry, your friends, or your family, he’s got you on the ropes.

Cry out to your Father, the righteous judge, for justice. He can return what the thief stole and bring truth where lies once ruled the day. Let Him fight for you because the reward is justice: restoration – getting back what was taken – and restitution – getting compensation above and beyond the offense!

Call on a just God today and keep calling until He renders judgment in your favor.
