No Revenge

April 5, 2011
2 Samuel 4:9-10 "But David said to Recab and Baanah, 'The lord, who saves me from all my enemies, is my witness. Someone once told me, 'Saul is dead,' thinking he was bringing me good news. But I seized him and killed him at Ziklag. That's the reward I gave him for his news!'"

David truly amazes me! This is why. When Saul died, he wept! Then, when someone killed Saul's son out of revenge, David killed the people who killed him. David didn't seek revenge, and when other people sought it, he punished them. We can learn a lot from David! Most of all, I learn to let God be the avenger.

Dear Lord,
David amazes me! He was a man after Your own heart. Help me be like David and leave revenge in Your hands. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
