To Pay Back or Not


Do not say, "I will repay evil"; Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.  -Proverbs 20:22

The word “save” here is not a reference to salvation. God promises that if we leave revenge to Him we will avoid sin. What are we supposed to do then? It is not in this verse, but the answer should be obvious… we are called to forgive. There is joy and peace for the forgiver. We are then free to cast our cares on Him and let Him handle the just punishment.
