Dealing With Those Who Wrong You

Jeremiah 50:33-34 NLT - And now the LORD Almighty says this: "The people of Israel and Judah have been wronged. Their captors hold them and refuse to let them go. But the one who redeems them is strong. His name is the LORD Almighty. He will defend them and give them rest again in Israel...

One of the sure things in life is that you will have to deal with injustices and wrongs that are done against you. Life at times is not fair as people are selfish and take from you emotionally and physically. You will get the opportunity to practice over and over the principle of forgiveness in your life toward others. Sometimes the hurt is so deep that just a surface forgiveness will not do. You will have to dig deep and get help that comes from God Almighty. Israel had been taken captive from their homes and their country. The devastation of war and famine had left many wounds in them that would take many years to undo. Their captors we're cruel people who abused and maligned them any way they could. They kept the people of Israel captive emotionally, physically and took from them whatever they could. The people of Israel had nothing to hold on to except God. As they cried out to Him – God heard their prayers and He heard brought deliverance to them. God is just – always. He defends His kids. He brings them to a place of rest. Whatever you might be going through today – turn to Him. Let Him defend you and let Him deal with your situation. Remember that the Lord who redeems you is strong. He will deal with those oppressing you and you will be at rest.
