Prayer for January 9th, 2024
Good morning, God —thank you!!
The Christian doctrine says we must submit to human authorities because you establish every human leader, so we believers must not resist your commands by opposing certain authorities —even the ones who deny you and live sinful lives by deliberately persecuting Christians and humankind. There is a reason, and only you know what it is. I know I will not take revenge or speak badly of my fellowmen, as you are our Avenger. Please help me not give in and live by your Word as I establish a firm foundation in and with you. Show yourself, O God! In Jesus’ name. Amen.
4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
94 O Lord God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
30 For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
2 God is jealous, and the Lord revengeth; the Lord revengeth, and is furious; the Lord will take vengeance on his adversaries, and he reserveth wrath for his enemies.
