A Debt for the Evil

Scripture Judges 9:57 And all the evil of the men of Shechem God returned on their own heads, and on them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.

Observation: We look around today and see that evil people are prospering and we wonder where God. We seem to forget our reward is not in this world but with our Lord in the next. God repays evil with evil, but His concern is with His children when they come home. When people do us wrong it is an opportunity for us to build treasures in heaven by paying evil with good and forgiveness. We should never worry about others, especially those who do evil, because God has it under control and the only person we have control over is us.

Application: I need to be focused more on my eternal home and what I should be doing here to earn the rewards God has set aside for me. There are so many evil people, but God wants them to repent and be saved and He wants to use us to help make this happen. When I see someone who is lost I need to show love and mercy and let God do any judging of His children. I need to be the best I can be for God

Prayer: Dear Lord may I be more concerned about the person I’m becoming and less about anyone else. May I show a loving spirit to all You surround me with. Change my heart to be more like your Son’s and lead me in the way you everlasting.
