Getting Even

It is so easy to relate to King David and what he was going through when he wrote Psalm 69. When he was about to “go under”, he called on God. God delivered as He always does. David thanked and praised God for delivery and then he prayed to God for God to “strike back”, to bring about revenge for the wrongs done to him. I think it is simply “human nature” to desire to “get even” with those that cause us harm. The challenge is to not allow our “strike back” mentality to guide and become our actions. True faith and trust in God is to allow Him to “even the score”. I confess it is not an easy thing to do. Perhaps if we can all try it together we can get closer to truly trusting in God for everything, including making things right. Will you join me? Blessings
