When it comes to your enemies let the Lord fight the battle for you: Who would you rather have working for you? Yourself or the Creator of all?

Throughout our lifetime we will face enemies. We will be continually tested because as much as our God is present, so is the Devil.  The truth is the Devil wants to target Christians and wants to destroy them by any means necessary; evil doers will be a constant through the end of times. So as a Christian what should we do when enemies come our way?  When others do us wrong? When we have been hurt?

The Bible tells us we are to forgive, to give our cares to God and trust in Him:

Blessed are the peacemakers,

For they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,

For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.  Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

Matthew 5:9-12

*****************

Cast your burden on the LORD,

And He shall sustain you;

He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 55:22

********************

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

1 Corinthians 10:13

********************

Part of forgiving is giving our problems to God. Trusting that God will handle the problem and defend us against our enemies.  God is far stronger than any of us, He holds better judgment, better wisdom, He knows the future, and His perspective is far greater, so you should trust Him with your problems and with your enemies.  

As humans we want to control how our enemies will pay, but as Christians we must trust God, who is greater or stronger than Him? And who would you rather have working for you? Yourself or the Creator of all?

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil

1 John 3:8

You are fearfully and wonderfully made
(Psalm 139:14)
