In Romans 12:19, we encounter a powerful verse that speaks to the way we handle conflict and seek justice. It says,
“Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: ‘It is mine to avenge; I will repay,’ says the Lord.”
This verse reminds us of the importance of entrusting justice into the hands of God and not seeking personal vengeance.
When we face situations where we have been wronged or treated unjustly, our natural inclination may be to seek revenge or take matters into our own hands.
However, this verse urges us to resist that urge and instead leave room for God’s justice to prevail. It’s a call to trust in the sovereignty of God, knowing that He sees all and will ultimately bring justice in His perfect timing.
As we reflect on Romans 12:19, may we are challenged to let go of our desire for revenge and entrust justice into God’s hands.
Seek peace and forgiveness, knowing that God sees all and will bring about justice in His way and timing. Find solace in His sovereignty, trusting that He will right every wrong and bring healing to our hearts.
