Judgment is God’s Job!

Wait for the Lord, and He will make things right. (Proverbs 20:22)

Every day seems to be chaos and turmoil. When faced thusly, humans start seeing themselves in charge and lose sight of who really is in charge: God. Max Lucado writes that some of you are in the courtroom. The courtroom of complaint. Some of you are rehashing the same hurt every chance you get with anyone who will listen. For you I have this question: Who made you God? I don’t mean to be cocky, but why are you doing His work for Him?

“Vengeance is Mine”, God declared. I will repay (Hebrews 10:30)

Judgment is God’s job. To assume otherwise is to assume God cannot do it. Revenge is irreverent….To forgive someone is to display reverence. Forgiveness is not saying the one who hurt you was right. Forgiveness is stating that God is faithful and He will do what is right. So in this campaign season fraught with judgment and disagreement, and pulling out old hurts, find a way to look for the forgiveness that is missing and let God do His job!
