“Assuredly, the evil man will not go unpunished, but the descendants of the righteous will be delivered.”
— Proverbs 11:21

Sometimes things happen in life that just don’t seem fair, and we’re tempted to take vengeance on those we think treated us unjustly. But I want to encourage you today to believe God that justice will prevail. Not only will the wicked be penalized, but Father God has assured us that the righteous and his descendants will be rewarded.

When we stay connected and submitted to our Father, He promises to make everything right. It may not happen in our timing, but it will come to pass. So if you’ve been treated unfairly, don’t allow yourself to fall into unforgiveness or let bitterness take root, damaging your own soul. Instead, practice blessing your enemies. This will help you guard against developing a vengeful, hateful spirit. 

At first, your heart may not be in it, but just speak to the Spirit of God and say, “Lord, I bless my enemy.” You don’t have to become best friends with the person, but whenever you think about the situation, ask Father God to bless those who hurt you. And then stay in faith, believing God has good plans for you. As you keep your heart pure before Him, the Lord will make all things right for you. Amen!
