What is #vengeance?  See a rat – get a trap!  Webster’s dictionary definition of vengeance states: #Punishment inflicted in return for an injury or an offense is referred  #retribution !   With an election on the horizon there are so many #political ads and verbal #attacks being pronounced that it makes you wonder if there’s a skunk in the hen house?  Where is truth?  I trust God’s Word.  What does He say about vengeance? In the book of Nahum 1:2,3,7 we read, “GOD IS JEALOUS, and the LORD REVENGES; and IS FURIOUS; the LORD WILL TAKE VENGEANCE ON HIS ADVERSARIES AND RESERVES WRATH FOR HIS ENEMIES.. . The LORD is slow to anger and great in power but will not acquit the wicked...The LORD IS GOOD, A STRONG HOLD IN THE DAY OF TROUBLE FOR HE KNOWS THEM THAT TRUST IN HIM.  Psalms 94:1,2 ”  Where are your thoughts today?  Are you alone?  Listen to God’s word…“If we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins only a fearful judgment with fiery indignation..…For we know THE LORD has said, “VENGEANCE BELONGS UNTO ME, I WILL RECOMPENSE AND JUDGE HIS PEOPLE.  IT IS A FEARFUL THING TO FALL INTO THE HANDS OF THE LIVING GOD.  So let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith having our hearts cleansed from an evil conscience as we hold fast to the profession of our faith without wavering….do not cast away your confidence which has great promise of reward.  Have patience and do the will of the LORD so you may receive that promise. Hebrews 10  “O LORD GOD TO WHOM VENGEANCE BELONGS …LIFT US UP AND JUDGE AND RENDER A REWARD TO THE RIGHTEOUS.” Psalms58:11
