It is easy to spread evil and unfairness to others, and it can be accomplished without detection.However, even if others are unaware that you have caused their pain, loss, or disappointment, there are spiritual laws that will eventually address deceptive and malicious behavior. People often say, "Life isn't fair," or "Those who wrong others always seem to get away with it." In reality, life is fair when you consider the spiritual laws that govern it.
Certainly! Here's the rewritten text:
As a result, these statements are often made by people who feel that someone, including themselves, has been treated unfairly in a specific situation. They may not realize that whoever has wronged them will eventually experience a similar situation where they will be on the receiving end of the injustice they caused in the past. I believe that the more we study God's word, the clearer it becomes that prayer strategies such as "returning evil back to sender" are wrong on every level. As I have mentioned in many of my teachings concerning spiritual laws, laws are inherent. This means that penalties and rewards are incorporated into all spiritual laws. We are rewarded if we follow the rules and penalized if we don't.
Proverbs 11:31 says, "The righteous shall be recompensed in the earth, much more the wicked and the sinner." According to this spiritual law, righteous people will be compensated for the loss and suffering they've experienced. Amazingly, incorporated in this same law, it states that the wicked and the sinner will receive more than they originally served to others. In the following scriptures, you will see that we are not responsible for returning evil to those who have wronged us. Scripture is adamant about who that portfolio belongs to, and according to Scripture, vengeance belongs to God and Him only!
As a reminder, God said that His word can not return unto Him unfulfilled; instead, it will accomplish what it was sent out to do, Isaiah 55:10-11. In essence, when someone does wrong to others, they should prepare to be challenged, not particularly by the person; Instead, by God's word that has incorporated their penalty for the wrong they did. Let's observe the scriptures mentioned below that will reinforce this spiritual understanding.
"But he that does wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons." Colossians 3:25
"Whoever digs a pit will fall into it; if someone rolls a stone, it will roll back on them" Proverbs 26:27
"He made a pit, dug it, and fell into the ditch he made. His mischief shall return upon his own head, and his violent dealing shall come down upon his own head" Psalm 7:15-16
"Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same" Job 4:8
"Woe unto the wicked! It shall be ill with him: for the reward of his hands shall be given him" Isaiah 3:11
I cannot say this enough. The scriptures mentioned above are indeed spiritual laws, basically prophesying the end of what will happen to those who distribute evil to others. Interestingly enough, these spiritual laws also point out to us why those who have confidence in their wrongdoings continue in their evil, and here is what it says:
"Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil" (Eccl.8:11).
This post highlights the understanding that no one is above spiritual laws, and the result of what they have done to others will be predicated on how they executed the law. While they may not be punished immediately when they have done evil, or it may appear as if they're continuing in it, the spiritual law dictates that it is inevitable that judgment will be served according to the word of God.
