Have you ever been tempted to get even when someone wronged you? David had every reason—and opportunity—to strike Saul down. Instead, he took Saul’s spear and water jug, proving his power without shedding blood. Why? Because David trusted God more than he trusted his own sense of justice. This moment reminds us that just because we can retaliate doesn’t mean we should. The world encourages us to fight back, to prove our strength. But Scripture teaches us a better way: to overcome evil with good, to leave vengeance in God’s hands. When we resist the urge to repay wrongs, we open ourselves to God’s transforming work. In your own life, when you’re hurt or wronged, remember David in the wilderness. You don’t have to take the spear. Lay it down, and let God fight your battles.
