“Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord…” We’ve heard this scripture, but it’s important to take it in context of the entire verse AND the surrounding verses:

“17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.

18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.

20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.”

(Romans 12:17-21)

Admit it: We like it when those who persecute us “get it.” 💪🏽

We may not cheer and throw confetti…but we’re not shedding any tears, either. IJS.😯

But it doesn’t feel so great when the the shoe is on the other foot. Cuz sometimes WE ARE THE HATERS.🤯 <gasp!>

Then, we’re grateful for the merciful side of our just, righteous, and holy God.

Just a check-in to make sure we’re on the Lord’s side today…because He will repay!

Blessings, Kayren

“10 And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, and redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

11 And the waters covered their enemies: there was not one of them left.

12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.”

(Psalm 106:10-12)
