The motive behind revenge and hatred matters more to God than the action carried out. God knows our thought life. He knows what lies in our hearts. He sees the evil thoughts that drive our sinful behavior. If we plan evil against another person, He knows the motivation behind it, and many times He’ll rearrange the intended outcome to rest on the person who initiated the plan. Evil never accomplished what it sets out to do, because God always overcomes evil. Rolling boulders eventually crushes the roller. Doing good is the only effective method proven to overcome evil. God knows what’s in our hearts, even before we do. One more reason to trust Him, wouldn’t you say?
27 If you set a trap for others, you will get caught in it yourself. If you roll a boulder down on others, it will crush you instead.
Proverbs 26:27
