Proverbs 20-22
Do not say, "I'll pay you back for this wrong!" Wait for the LORD, and he will deliver you.
—Proverbs 20:22
Thoughts on the Verse
On earth, we can see that we will never find perfect and complete justice, no matter the goodness of the judicial system in place at the time. But God will not only bring justice; he will deliver us from the hands of the oppressor and deliver us from the poison of hatred.
Prayer
Forgiving Lord, God of all justice and steadfast love, I ask you to be at work in the justice system of my land. Make it more equitable and true. Expose those who buy and sell justice and remove them from power. Deal with the violent and the oppressor with your hand. Lord, by the power of your Spirit, stir me to forgive others and to wait on your justice. Guard me from the poison of an unforgiving and vengeful heart. May my attitude, behavior and response to those who wrong me help lead them to know your Son as their Savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
