Today was something. I couldn't even respond after initially reading the Word this morning. I actually went on a walk and just meditated on what I read. It took me into a space of major self reflection. The question I was contemplating was, "How many times have I taken matters into my own hands?"
Oh boy, Im guilty of this far too much! Talk about a lack of Trust.
“When Jacob found out, he said to Simeon and Levi, “What have you done? You have ruined my name, and now the Canaanites and Perizzites and all the people of this land will hate me! My
men are so few that if they unite against me and attack, I and all my household will be destroyed!””
Genesis 34:30 TPT
Holy moly the heaviness of today and ultimately a powerful reminder to me of WHY I should not try to take vengeance on people or things Im hurt by. No matter how hurt or RIGHT I may be I’ll only make things worse, if I choose to do so!!!!!
I must Trust God will take care of me. Friend maybe you too can relate and feel a deeper relief after reading along today that we can and should allow God to take care of you too. When we jump in, we will make an even bigger mess of things.
Now hear me, Im not saying we shouldn't allow natural consequences from happening, boundaries or necessary legal steps when necessary, but Im simply recognizing I don't need to get revenge or paybacks. This is where I must lean in and ask the tough question, "Do you trust God with it all?!" The truth is, I certainly do!
