In Proverbs, chapter twenty, verse twenty-two, “Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.” When mistreated, believers must not take vengeance into their own hands, as in Deuteronomy thirty-two, verse thirty-five, Romans twelve, verse nineteen, and Hebrews ten, verse thirty, respectively. However, the people of God must take their suffering to the Lord and entrust themselves to the faithful God, as in First Peter two, verse twenty-three, and chapter four, verse nineteen. He will, in His own time, avenge the injustices experienced by the righteous who cry out to Him day and night, as in Luke eighteen, verses seven through eight.
As much as injustice hurts to the core, believers should approach the situation as in Psalm forty-three, verse one. “Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an ungodly nation: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man.” The people of God must call upon Him when they encounter circumstances that require a decision. And if the result is not right, believers must depend upon the Lord and trust Him to make things right in due time. However, some situations are not easy at all and may seem unbearable, especially when wrongdoing is involved, and yet those in a position to make the right choice elect not to do so.
“He that soweth iniquity shall reap vanity: and the rod of his anger shall fail, as in Proverbs twenty-two, verse eight. It is easy for someone to react with anger and frustration when a decision or ruling in a matter does not go in favor of the innocent party. However, those who serve, believe, and trust God should walk in faith and live as though He will take care of it in the end. Wait on the Lord.
