Scripture: Matthew 22:44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool
Nugget: So many people get caught up in getting revenge on those who have done them wrong. This revenge can, at times, come with dire consequences. This is why it’s good to leave things up to God. God can make your enemies your footstool! He can handle things better than we can!
Looking back, the human side of me wanted to do an “eye for an eye”, but thank God for the Christian part of me that says, “Treat people like you want to be treated”. We all have to answer to God for our choices and decisions, that’s why it’s good to remember that God’s got it all under control.

Thank you for this!!! I really needed to read this RIGHT now! I was about to write a blog that probably was not christ-like and you just reminded me to leave it to God. However, I probably will write something that will sound a little nicer. Just going through something and I need to let it out!! If you know what I mean… Great post!
