Let GOD deal

22 “God, in his power, drags away the rich.
They may rise high, but they have no assurance of life.
23 They may be allowed to live in security,
but God is always watching them.
24 And though they are great now,
in a moment they will be gone like all others,
cut off like heads of grain.
25 Can anyone claim otherwise?
Who can prove me wrong?”

- Job 24

Have you been wronged by someone who has power over you? Are you tempted to be angry and be bitter towards the proud and wicked? Take comfort in the words of Job who was suffering terribly not from the wicked's doing to him, but from people who think he was wicked. His very own friends judged him for being godless because of what GOD has allowed him to go through, suffering, loss of wealth, sickness and shame. Job was saying that he might be suffering as if he was a wicked man but the suffering he had during that time is nothing compared to what GOD will do to evil men.

Cruel people may seem to be high and mighty now but GOD will someday drag them away. What is their assurance of a long and satisfying life? If GOD is the one who satisfies the human soul with good things and secures their hearts. The proud may be living in safety because of their riches that surround them, making it their wall of protection but GOD's eyes are always on them. GOD is giving them time to realize their faults and turn away from their wrong doing, but when their time of grace is up, their time of judgement will come. Their greatness will come to nothing when GOD acts up on punishment. So do not hold any grudge in your heart for the wicked who has wronged you, give your pain to GOD and let GOD deal with them in a way no human being could ever endure. 

Let GOD Be

4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why go to outside judges who are not respected by the church? 5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn’t there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these issues? 6 But instead, one believer sues another—right in front of unbelievers!
7 Even to have such lawsuits with one another is a defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated? 8 Instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your fellow believers.

- 1 Corinthians 6

Disagreements and conflicts are common in the world even inside of the church because people even though they love GOD are still human. People are imperfect and are different from each other. It's only natural at times when brethren do not get along with each other. However, discords should be settled between believers and not taken outside the church for this would shame the whole body of Christ. Unbelievers should see the light from the body of Christ, not see believers as exactly the same with them - unbelievers. For it would be useless to evangelize to the whole world when the world will think that there believers are the same with unbelievers.

Paul was saying that when believers file lawsuits against each other, right then the power of Christ has already been lost. Since Christ teaching has always been to give to those who wants to take, to love their enemies, and to just be at the losing end when other are trying to overtake you, faithful believers defeat the purpose of being Yeshua's follower when they cannot practice what Yeshua has taught them. Therefore, let humility be your crown and let GOD's grace be your guiding light the next time you feel you are being cheated, used or taken advantage of, let it go and let GOD be your GOD.
