Jehovah El Gemuwal -God of Recompense

Day 2.

Jehovah El Gemuwal -God of recompense.

Today I learned there's nothing that God can't handle. When the scriptures tell me that "the battle is not mine, it's the lords". I truly need to let that saturate into my spirit. Wronging people who've wronged me makes me no better than them. It doesn't make me smarter or stronger, it makes me just as bad as them. My role is to wait and allow the Lord to handle my battles for me. He is strong, he is smart, and He is mighty to do anything He said He would.

I understand that I may get angry and want to seek vengeance for myself, but I sleep better knowing that God can handle people for me. He can handle them in a way that they know their being punished by the father for hurting or betraying another one of His children. God has the power to do things we can't do in the natural. I'm realizing why spiritual warfare is so important. There's literally nothing too hard for God, he knows EVERYTHING about every individual. He knows what we pray about, what we are asking for, what we are in need of, etc. He also knows when to give it to us, when to make us wait for it, and how to both, punish and correct us when we aren't living our lives according to His plan.

God has the power to end anything that brings harm or hurt to this world. He has the power to remove any wickedness. I'm grateful for that knowledge; because I know the power He holds I can trust that He will remove the wickedness and wrongful thoughts I have towards others, from me. It's easy to say I love people and I'm going to let God handle my battles for me. However, it's hard to actually sit back and allow God to take control and say, " God I trust that you will handle this situation, I'm giving it to you."

I'm grateful that I learned to allow God to fight for me early on in my walk. Yes, I use to be a fighter and a very vindictive person. If you hurt me I will hurt you, that was my train of thought and how I felt I needed to treat people; because I didn't understand why people couldn't treat me nicely when I was nothing but nice to them. I'm glad to say that I've been letting God do His job so that I can rest and sleep well every night. I have no worries and no stress. I truly know that when I give it to God, I am completely taking myself out of the equation and letting God do His work.

It was hard at first because I needed to learn to trust God. Trusting God is a choice, either you do or you don't. You can't halfway trust God, there's no grey area. When I decided I would trust God I was in one of my lowest places. I had been struggling with keeping my faith for about a year and I finally got to the point where I said, " I'm stressed out, my hair is falling out, I'm not eating, I'm not feeling well, and I'm tired. I can no longer live like this. I'm going to try this faith thing one more time, but this time I'm truly going to trust you; because if I lose my faith and stop believing I want to go out knowing I gave God my all and yet he still failed me."

I thank God for my highs and all my lows. It was in my lowest places when I was in the most despair that He revealed to me in His word who He really is and who I am to Him. I'm not saying I had to be at my worst to receive revelation from God, no! That's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is, it wasn't until I was in my lowest places that I felt I was worth nothing and that I was really ready and able to listen to God and find out who I was. We can hear people preach we can read the word and hear ourselves talk, but it isn't until we open our ears to hear and truly listen that we'll receive understanding. When you're already down, there's no other way to go, but up!

Trusting God has been one of the best decisions I made. My life has completely turned around. I don't think the way I use to. I know that God will always come through for me. I know that he is always with me!

Today I encourage you to trust God enough to let him handle your battles for you. I encourage you to keep your hands clean and continue to pray to God. Prayer is so important! Pray in the spirit. Allow God to handle your dirty work. Allow God to cleanse you of your wickedness. Allow God to make you new. There's a new level of peace you're going to tap into when you learn to trust God with all your heart and let him fight for you. God is Jehovah El Gemuwal, the God of Recompense!

“Because the spoiler is come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the Lord God of recompences shall surely requite.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭51:56‬ ‭KJV‬

Read the entire chapter to see how God will recompense you.

Love, ChelCy
