According to Deuteronomy 19:6-21, God tells me how to live. He tells me not to take life into my own hands because I can never control it, and I did not create it to begin with. That means when things are inconvenient, or someone cuts in front of me in traffic, or someone does something to me that just irritates me to no end, pray for my enemies rather than curse them. God knows what is going on and He has control over it. Revenge belongs not to me, but to Go. In fact God goes further and tells me to act on my prayer.I am exhorted to give my enemy something to eat when they are hungry and something to drink when thirsty. (Romans 12:19-20) I am not God, and only God knows what is true justice for those that do wrong. Even in my thoughts, if I just kill in my mind and not with my hands I am not allowing God to be God. Christ knew this. That is why He advised the Apostles and other followers not to hate, not to even nurture the thought because it would come to be eventually. Satan knows how to tempt me, and that is through my thoughts. No one needs to plant the seed, I can do that quite well. What I need is a way to nurture the seed . Even though it may not be for the best of God’s creation. When I let satan into my thoughts all that matters is it temporarily satisfies me.
And then God cries.
