Who Made You God, the Judge?

It is so easy to be the judge when its you that's been hurt.  Some will rehash the same hurt every chance they get with anyone who will listen.

One question?  Who made you God, the Judge?  "Vengence is Mine" declares the Almighty.  I will repay".  (Hebrew 10:30).  "Wait for the Lord, and He will make things right", (Proverbs 20:22).

You are assuming God can't do it when you take over.  Revenge is irreverent.....to forgive someone is to display reverence.

Forgiveness is not saying the other guy was right, it's stating that God is faithful and will handle it justley.

That, my friend, is called trusting God.  The Bible says He is our refuge our strength an ever-present help in trouble.  Who are we to fear.  Not even if the earth gave way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam.  There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the Holy place where the Most High dwells.

He says to us, "Be still and know that I am God", (Psalm 46:10)

Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self controlled set your hope fully on the grace to be given when Jesus Christ is revealed.  How great is our God.  Do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance.  But just as He called you is Holy, so be Holy in all you do.

Since you call on a Father who judges each mans work impartially, live your lives in righteousness.  For you know is was not with perishable things such as silver and gold that your were redeemed from the empty way of life, but with the precious blood of Christ

Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth, love your brothers, love one another deeply from the heart.
