Wait on God, hold back anger, trust the Lord. How often do we hear that? How often do we offer this advice to others?
When we've been wronged, we want revenge. And we want it NOW. That's just human nature. A slight against you must be resolved ASAP. But is it ever really resolved when we take the matter into our own hands?
Now, God promises the wicked will be punished. He promises that justice will be delivered, but it will be in His time, in His way. And His handling of the situation will be final, the resolution sure. So why can't we wait and let God take care of it?
I think we should. I've had a few times in my life when I've very much known God wanted me to "Be still and wait for God." And you know what? Every time the resolution has been better than what I could have done on my own.
Wait on God, hold back anger, trust the Lord.
It may seem cliched, but it's good advice.
