Instructions

These are short devotional thoughts to accompany a daily Bible reading. The readings are arranged for a chronological reading of the scriptures. I am reading the Today's New International Version. However, it should work with any version. It is my prayer that it will encourage reading of God's word, and inculcating the teachings into daily living. May His richest blessings be with you!

May 23


Psalm 108-110
Whatever enemies we might have, God is able to handle them, and He will. We are much better off leaving vengeance to the Lord than in taking revenge upon ourselves. I know this goes against current thought and practice. Why, there's even a hit television series called "Revenge!" Taking vengeance is viewed as the right thing to do. In fact, those who do so are hailed as heroes. This is not the way for God's people. Rather than revenge, we should be seeking healing and grace. If our enemies remain unrepentant, God will take care of them. In the meantime, we can rest easy, knowing that we've done the right thing.
