Micah 7:10a Then my enemy will see it and will be covered with shame,
Romans 12:19 says, “Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.” I have learned that vengeance is definitely something I should leave to God because seeing someone “get what’s coming to them,” even if they hurt me, hurts my heart.
Micah 7:10b …she who said to me, “Where is the Lord your God?”
I think it hurts my heart to see others suffer and feel left out because I know how it feels. I always root for the underdog because I’ve felt the sting of being the underdog. But I now try to live Romans 12:14 “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse” instead of hoping that those who have been mean get what’s coming to them. God loves them, too.
Micah 7:10c …My eyes will see her downfall;
Precious Savior, Thank You that I don’t have the heart to rejoice when others are suffering, even if they have treated me poorly. Help me to get better at blessing those who persecute me instead of being angry and bitter at them for their treatment and hoping they will “get what’s coming to them.” Work on both our hearts. Help us both to draw closer to You and to shine Your light. Amen.
Micah 7:10d …even now she will be trampled underfoot like mire in the streets.
Have a blessed day.
