IS IT PERMISSIBLE TO PRAY GOD'S VENGEANCE UPON OTHERS



Those of us who study the Bible have been disturbed by certain Psalms in which there are prayers and wishes against the enemies of God’s people and God’s cause.
David and others spoke and prayed concerning certain things in a way which did not necessarily bear the approval of God. David sinned, but that does not mean that God condoned his sin.
We are never to say, for instance, that, because a certain person in the scriptures expressed hatred, it is all right for us to hate also. God many times answers prayers for a reason different from that by which our prayers are motivated.

Many times men are prone to curse God or to disregard Him when their stomachs are full. We are neither to hate nor wish evil upon others. Let us leave vengeance in the hands of God. For the son of man is not to come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them
