Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord

I heard of another instance of this today. This makes two I have heard about in a week. Instances where God really did take care of a wrong done. But in the same ole God fashion he does it with flair and panache.

What am I talking about you ask? Romans 12:19 "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: For it is written, Vengeance is mine , I will repay, saith the Lord.

I got to tell you, I would not want to be on the receiving end of God's vengeance in any form.

Example one is not really my story to tell I really don't know all the components but in general lets just say that someone of power (Bob) hurt someone I love (Tom) deeply and maliciously 30 years ago. Last week Tom found himself helping a choking person in a restaurant and saving their lives. The person that was saved was Bob the very person in power that inflicted the pain on Tom so many years before. Coincidence?? I think not... when the person that was saved realized who had saved them they were speechless. God has style I gotta give him that.

Example two is more sad and I don't feel it right to share. I will just say this... There is a principle similar to Romans 12:19 in every religion in the world. Karma... What goes around comes around. It doesn't matter how you say it. If you hurt someone intentionally you will never escape the consequences of your actions. Most likely something similar will happen to you. You cheat... you get cheated on. You lie you find someone lying to you. But if the person you hurt is a Child of God.... Look out. It's coming and it won't be pretty.
