Romans 12:19 ~ Beloved

 

Romans 12:19

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, 

for it is written, 

“Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.

Jesus said this exactly the best.

Luke 10:20

Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, 

but rejoice that your 

names are written in heaven.

Is it right God would have anger?  The Collect or Collect for Purity prays like this:

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name; through Christ our Lord. Amen

And is from Scriptures:

Hebrews 4:13

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. 
Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of Him 

to whom we must give account

We know Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, MADD, came from personal experiences of pain and loss. Why would we claim God is unreasonable or without wisdom? Justice.

Mark 12:1-2

And he began to speak to them in parables. “A man planted a vineyard and put a fence around it and dug a pit for the winepress and built a tower, and leased it to tenants and went into another country. 2 When the season came, he sent a servant to the tenants to get from them some of the fruit of the vineyard. 3 And they took him and beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 

4 Again he sent to them another servant, and they struck him on the head and treated him shamefully. 

5 And he sent another, and him they killed. And so with many others: some they beat, and some they killed. 

6 He had still one other, a beloved son. Finally he sent him to them, saying, ‘They will respect my son.’ 

7 But those tenants said to one another, ‘This is the heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.’ 

8 And they took him and killed him and threw him out of the vineyard. 

9 What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the tenants and give the vineyard to others. 10 Have you not read this Scripture: 

 “‘The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone; 11 this was the Lord's doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?” 

Matthew 5

14 But solid food is for the mature, 

who by constant use 

have trained themselves 

to distinguish good from evil.

Ephesians 4

25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood 

and speak truthfully to his neighbor, 

for we are all members of one another. 

26“Be angry, yet do not sin.” 

Do not let the sun set upon your anger, 

and do not give the devil a foothold.

Proverbs 17:14

14 The beginning of strife is like letting out water,

    so quit before the quarrel breaks out.

James 1:20

 

For the anger of man 

does not produce 

the righteousness of God.

Ecclesiastes 7:9 

Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, 

for anger lodges in the heart of fools.

Proverbs 14:17

A man of quick temper acts foolishly, 

and a man of evil devices is hated.

Psalm 37:8

Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! 

Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.

Proverbs 3:5

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, 

and do not lean on your own understanding.

Proverbs 12:18

There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, 

but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Mark 6:34

When He went ashore 

He saw a great crowd, 

and He had compassion on them, 

because they were like sheep without a shepherd. 

1 Peter 5:7

 

Casting all your anxieties on Him, 

because 

He cares for you.

Daniel 12:3

 And those who are wise shall shine 

like the brightness of the sky above; 

and those who turn many to righteousness, 

like the stars forever and ever.

Hebrews 6:13

When God made his promise to Abraham, 

since there was no one greater for Him 

to swear by, 

He swore by Himself 

Matthew 4:19 

And He said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

The Scriptures repeat

Daniel 12:3

 And those who are wise shall shine 

like the brightness of the sky above; 

and those who turn many to righteousness, 

like the stars forever and ever.

Abba, Father,

In seeking You first, help us not to grow weary in doing good.

Now may You, Lord of peace, Himself give us peace at all times in every way.

Give Your Love and Joy to those we Love.

Strengthen family and friends in Your Love.

The Lord be with us all.

Let love be genuine

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all.

May the Blessing of God be upon our Nation,

for those who seek His Love and Presence

and may the world recognize

the fullness of God's own Good Creation

is the Lord God.

Please pray for me,

I have not felt well this week.

Thanks very much!

In the Highest Name of Jesus 

we lift our cares to Him, 

He cares for us so.
