Don't fight, wait on the Lord

Genesis 49:22-24
Joseph is a fruitful bough, A fruitful bough by a well; His branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob.

Proverbs 20:22
Do not say, "I will recompense evil", Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.

As christians, we often go thru life like sheep led to slaughter, many times offense come and hit us and we feel confuse on the spot of wat to do. God has an answer for us in every situation even in confusing moments. We must always resist the temptation to get revenge. Revenge stops the power of God from working in our situation. No matter how unfair things may turn out, God requires us to wait on Him to save us.... and God would always be true to His word. Joseph was grieved bitterly, and went thru alot of pain in life... imagine... own closest brothers betraying you... the hurts and wounds cut deep into his soul.... but the bible says Joseph kept a forgiving big hearted spirit.... a bitter spirit wld destroy one's destiny. When God finally brought vindication to Joseph, He blessed him so much more greater then the trial...

Genesis 50:19-21
Joseph said to them, "Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God? But as for you, you meant evil against mel but GOd meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive. Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones." And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

Let God bring ur vindication for you... wait on HIm... it shall come in time... keep a good spirit...

1Peter 3:8-9
Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another; love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous; not returning evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

Pray blessing over those who hurt and harmed you... You will inherit a blessing over your life.

3John 1:2
Beloved I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
