“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.— Romans 12:19
Why Vengeance Belongs to God, and Provision Comes From Him Alone—In a world that often seems upside down—with injustice thriving, lies spreading, and the powerful oppressing the weak—it’s comforting to know that God is still on the throne. He is not silent. He is not passive. He is our Defender.
When people rise against you, when betrayal comes from those closest to you, and when life seems unfair—God sees it all, and He has something to say about it.
Vengeance Belongs to the Lord—We live in a culture that glorifies revenge, claps back on social media, and encourages us to “get even.” But the Word of God offers a different perspective:“Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.— Romans 12:19
Trying to avenge yourself only delays your healing and disrupts your peace. God makes it clear: He will deal with every wrong done against His children. You don’t have to fight dirty when God fights for you.
“Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them.”— Proverbs 26:27
“Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.”— Isaiah 54:15 (KJV)
Let the wicked plot. Let them scheme. If God didn’t send them, their plans will not stand.
God’s Heart for the Poor and Overlooked is clear. God has always had a special place in His heart for the poor, the broken, the overlooked, and the oppressed. He is not impressed with titles, status, or wealth. He looks at the heart—and He is a protector of the vulnerable. “Do not exploit the poor because they are poor and do not crush the needy in court, for the Lord will take up their case…” — Proverbs 22:22–23
God doesn’t forget those society tries to erase. While the world may marginalize the weak, God draws near to them. He lifts up the humble and promises to be a refuge for those the world ignores.
God Is Our Source—Not Man or Government. In seasons of lack, fear, or uncertainty, we may be tempted to depend on people or institutions for provision. But the Lord reminds us to look higher. Our hope is not in man. It’s not in government programs, political leaders, or worldly wealth. “Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God.”— Psalm 20:7
God is still Jehovah Jireh—the Lord who provides. He is not limited by recessions or inflation. When man fails, He remains faithful. “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him.”— Jeremiah 17:7
God’s Protection in Times of Chaos
Let’s be real—these are unstable times. We see war, economic collapse, injustice, and spiritual confusion spreading across the globe. But those who belong to God are not without hope. “A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.”— Psalm 91:7. Even in judgment, God knows how to protect His people. He did it before—and He will do it again.
Egypt vs. Israel: A Divine Contrast
Remember the story of the Exodus? While plagues ravaged Egypt, something incredible was happening in Goshen, where the Israelites lived.
- Egypt was in darkness, but Israel had light (Exodus 10:23).
- Egypt was struck with disease and disaster, but Israel was spared (Exodus 8:22, 9:4).
- Egypt’s firstborn died, but Israel was covered by the blood of the lamb (Exodus 12:23).
This is not just a Bible story—it’s a prophetic picture of how God protects His people in times of trouble. The economy around you might collapse. Injustice might rage. But in your home, there can be peace, light, and provision because God is with you.
The Wealth of the Wicked Is Stored for the Just—When God delivered the Israelites from Egypt, He didn’t just rescue them—He made sure they left with more than enough.
“The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians… so they plundered the Egyptians.”— Exodus 12:36
God is not just interested in saving you—He wants to restore what was stolen. He is storing up resources, opportunities, and favor for His righteous ones.“The wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.”— Proverbs 13:22
You may feel like you’ve been overlooked, but heaven has not forgotten you. Your obedience, tears, and sacrifice are not in vain.
Let God Be Your Defender—You don’t have to chase revenge or beg for provision. You have a Defender. A Father. A Provider. A Righteous Judge. “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him… For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.”— Psalm 37:7,9
Hold your peace. Walk in integrity. Trust His timing.
The Lord will repay—The Lord will provide—And the Lord will protect.
Stay encouraged. Your Defender is working behind the scenes. Justice, provision, and restoration are coming—on God’s terms, in God’s time.
Rest in Him. The battle is already won.
