Vengeance Is Mine Sayeth the Lord

No need to seek revenge; let God handle it. His way is more effective with a higher motive and of course His way is perfect.

Nothing could be more satisfying than to see God's reproof on someone who would not listen to biblical counsel. Harsh..? No, I am not harsh and neither is God. In fact God is long suffering, forgiving and loving. Absolutely it is His love that brings about reproof.

When I see the woman who had no right to divorce her husband blow off the advice of several biblical counselors and wilfully divorce her faithful husband to satisfy her own lustful desires, finally start to be reproved by God, I rejoice. I take no joy in the fact that her life is beginning to fall apart and unravel; that would be wrong for me to feel that way.

I rejoice to know God loves her and is reproving her, not giving her over to her sinful desires...yet. There is hope and there is a chance for her life to be put back together but she must repent. Turn away from sin and cry out to God.

She was warned, as all counselees are warned, you could loose your job, you could loose your health and you will loose God's protection when you wilfully disobey God. No one can pretend that God doesn't exist and act as if His principles are not valid. God have mercy on all of us when we do these things.

My prayer...? God bring the prodigal home and reconcile her to her husband, but not until you have reproved her for her own good, lest she fall into the same temptation again. May her husband rejoice that he was not vengeful and allowed you God to work and bring repentance and reconciliation. "...kill the fatted calf..." We believe God to bring this one to her senses and return to you Lord God. In the name of Christ we ask. Amen.
