Quote of Day - 4/7

God has promised if we will put our trust in Him, He will pay us back for all the unfair things that have happened to us. Maybe you were cheated in a business deal and you lost a lot of money. Maybe somebody lied about you, and that misinformation kept you from getting a promotion. Or maybe a good friend betrayed you.

Certainly, these kinds of losses leave indelible scars, causing you to want to hold on to your grief. It would be logical for you to seek revenge. Many people would even encourage you to do so. The slogan "Don't get mad, get even!" is a commonly accepted principle in America today.

But that is not God's plan for you. If you want to live your best life now, you must learn to trust God to bring about the justice in your life. The Bible says, "God is a just God and He will settle and solve the cases of His people." That means you don't have to go around trying to pay everybody back for the wrong things they have done to you. You don't have to go around trying to get even with people. God is your vindicator. You need to start letting God fight your battles for you. Let God settle your cases. God has promised if you will turn matters over to Him and let Him handle them His way, He'll make your wrongs right. He'll bring justice in to your life.
