Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

 (2Th 1:6)  “Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;”  The old nature in the saved desires to strike out to those who offend us. The world has taught us, “If you don’t stick up for yourself no one else will.” God, the righteous judge instructed us, (Rom_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.”  We cannot very well avenge ourselves and practice, “Be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matt 10:14).  Trust the Lord to right all wrongs.
