For I, the Lord, love justice; I hate robbery and wrongdoing. In my faithfulness I will reward my people and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Isaiah 61:8 (NIV)
First, let me say this, there is so much richness and beauty that can be found in the Bible that we will never be able to tap into all of its resources. No matter what we are going through, there is always a verse we can relate to.
God has promised that if we put our trust in him, he will reward us for all the unjust things that have happened to us. Many of us have been through all kinds of disappointments: maybe a job got lost because of misinformation about you or maybe a good friend betrayed you.
These types of losses can cause you to seek revenge, and some people might even encourage you to do so. As followers of Christ, this is not God's plan for us. If we want to live a life that pleases God and according to his will, we must learn to trust God to bring justice into our lives.
