Proverbs - Wait on the Lord


Proverbs 20:22

Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall save thee.


The Lord is telling us not to say this much less do this.  If we sense retaliation in our heart, restrict it from exiting the lips.  Rather, lift up your voice for mercy and ask God to intervene on your behalf.  He is able to judge righteously and His judgments will be more than fair for all parties involved.  We must wait on the Lord.  This requires waiting.  This is simply said but difficult to do.   Give the Lord time to work and see how He loves you.  Nothing is hidden from the Lord.  He will avenge you of your enemies and He does it with a perfect love towards them as well.  Our wounds can cause us to react in a way that does not accomplish God’s greater purposes.  Wait on the Lord.  Pray for the situation over and over.  Look for the Lord’s leading in the matter.  Look for Him to show you what you need to learn from the situation.  Don’t wait on them to change.  Wait on the Lord to work.  He is and will work.  He shall save you and He does a much better job than you or I could ever do.
