Spiritual Warfare: 'Don’t Focus on Getting Revenge'
God's Power for Our Battles — Tuesday, November 11, 2025
My friends, do not try to punish others when they wrong you, but wait for God to punish them with his anger. It is written: ‘I will punish those who do wrong; I will repay them,’ says the Lord. But you should do this: If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink. Doing this will be like pouring burning coals on his head. Do not let evil defeat you, but defeat evil by doing good.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
