REVENGE 1 SAMUEL 30: 22-23




Most of the times we are so overwhelmed by our thirst for revenge that we actually forget that God brought the victory.

They went for a crucial battle at a crucial moment, some men stayed behind because they were so faint, two hundred of them.

God granted victory, they came back recovering all their loss and even spoil. Then the group of men the Bible regarded as wicked said because those other men didn’t go with them, they should not share in the spoil recovered.

You already know the punishment due for each of your enemies, when I finally make money, if that man dares to near my door, I would order him thrown out because he wasn’t there when I had to struggle all alone, then you begin to sound like that rich fool, who thought within him that he achieved all by himself and he should eat all by himself, he forgot that God had a hand in his success.

 The group that went with David forgot God was the one who gave the victory, it wasn’t by skills or whatever they knew. And they are not superior to the 200 behind.

Stop your revenge mission, in God’s view of it, it makes you wicked and selfish and self- glorifying.
