The Apostle Peter describes Yeshua “when he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judge’s justly “ (1 Pet 2:23)
Despite being shamed and accused unjustly, the disciple of the Master is not to seek revenge. Proverbs teaches, “Do not say, I will repay evil; wait for The LORD, and he will deliver you“(Prov 20:22) and Apostle Paul urges, “Beloved, never avenge yourself, but leave it to the wrath of God” (Romans 12:19). We are to rely on our Father in heaven to defend us.
To those who curse me, make my soul silent, and make my soul like dust to everyone. May God guard my tongue from evil, and my lips from speaking deceitfully. And those who plan against me evil things, speedily nullify their counsel and disrupt their plan.
O LORD my Rock and My Redeemer!
