Trust God completely
"An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind." -
Mahatma Ghandi
You cannot give God 90% of your trust and expect God to bless
you for it.He knows that you will take the remaining 10% that
you still have control of and mess everything back up again!
Your blessings start when you faithfully trust Him
100%.
I have
discovered that when we think we are being obedient and have given
it all to the Lord, we really have only given Him part of our trust.
"See that no one pays
back evil for evil, but always try to do good to each other and to
everyone
else."
2 Thessalonians 5:15
I know most of
you will agree with me that there is too much violence in the
world today. We can't even turn on the T.V. to watch the
weather forecast until the news media gives us our daily dose
of family members killing other family members, or other
unbelievable and insane situations that tragically seem to be
the normal news of the day. I don't envy law enforcement that
has to respond everyday to a domestic violence situation;
they're so unpredictable and dangerous to the officers
responding.
God has a Divine
plan when He is asking us to not bear a grudge or to
repair evil for evil, He will not allow evil to triumph against you
in your life.
Several important factors are involved
here, God needs to see that you trust Him completely which shows
your faith in Him. Only God knows how to shape the heart of our
enemy as well as the circumstances that need to happen to turn
things around to what was meant to harm you into a blessing to
prosper you.
Consider the wisdom of doing it God's
Way. How can God work in the hearts of evil people if we do not
trust Him completely, where is our faith that moves the Hand of God
in our favor? And if we decide to get involved by getting in
the face of the evil person and provoking them to increase their
level of hate or violence. How can God put the fear of Him into them
for evil to flee from you or to stop them from even planning to
hurt you if they can't hear the Spirit of God working in their lives
because the only thing that this evil person can hear right now is
you getting into his or her face which will only escalate matters
much worse.
I have seen this faith principal
work in my own life in the face of evil, danger and life
threatening circumstances, not most of the time but all the time.
It's not by luck, or coincidence, but by being obedient to God's
way. Test drive God completely for ninety days and you will not go
back to repaying evil for evil. I have asked God on several
occassions to handle a situation with a particular person, place or
thing who is trying to be an obstacle to God's divine plan, and
I have told God that I will trust Him completely to handle it
without my interference and each time I have seen the Hand of God
shape that persons heart and bring that person down to a place where
the Will of God be done. I'm talking about in a way that no
matter who they are, God will turn it around to be a blessing in
your favor.
"Don't seek vengeance.
Don't bear a grudge; but love your neighbor as yourself, for I am
Jehovah."
Leviticus 19:18
God believes in
you
