A right spirit. [ Romans 12 v17 -21]

David was a man of God a man after Gods own heart, and yet he experienced his share of troubles,some undeserved others of his own making.Dont be disappointed if the best of men fail to live as they should, but observe how they act in success, and failure,and the important thing is dont judge them. When David was being hounded by Saul unfairly, he refused to hurt Saul,humally speaking ,he could have,he would not touch the Lords annointed.What he did was leave it with God to deal with Saul,consider the words he spoke to Saul,/The Lord judge between me and thee, and the Lord avenge me of thee, but mine hand shall not be upon thee[ 1 Samuel 24 v12 ] There was no Count of Monte Cristo spirit in him,mybe you are experiencing unfair treatment,watch your spirit, and leave God to act on your behalf.Romans 12 v19 - 20 tells us,/Dear friends, never take revenge,leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the scriptures say,I will take revenge,I will replay them back, says the Lord./ but it does not stop there ,it would be easy to stop there and rub our hands with glee as we wait for God to destroy them,no it goes on to say,/Instead , if your enemies are hungry, feed them. If they are thirsty, give them something to drink. In doing this you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads/.
A prayer ..../Dear God grant me a right spirit in all things in Jesus name Amen/
