Righteousness is the only way.

• To the Chief Musician. A contemplation. A Psalm of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said to him, David has come to the house of Ahimelech. Why do you boast yourself in evil, O mighty man? The mercy of God endures forever. Your tongue devises evil, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, and lying more than to speak righteousness. Selah. You love all devouring words, O deceitful tongue.” (Psa 52:1-4)

I know that to be victim of injustice is terrible. Nonetheless, many times, we love more evil than good. If indeed we believe in Jesus and in the power of His grace (2Tim 3:5), we always should try to sort out the problem in the salvation that the Creator brings on His wings (see Mal 4:2).

If we really yearn for being children of the Creator, we need to observe what is written below:

• “Little children, let no one deceive you. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as that One is righteous.” (1Jn 3:7).
• “In this the children of God are revealed, and the children of the Devil: everyone not practicing righteousness is not of God, also he who does not love his brother.” (1Jn 3:10).

In order to know if we are truly in righteousness, take a look at this:

• “In the way of righteousness is life, and in that pathway there is no death.” (Pro 12:28).

So, it comes the question: Is, what we are doing, bringing condemnation or salvation for those whom are our enemies? Are we undoing Ha-Satan’s works or confirming them making use of his devices to put an end to all evil?

Remember what Jesus said:

• “And if Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself; how then shall his kingdom stand?” (Mat 12:26).

Therefore, take possess of Ha-Satan’s works and stratagems to overcome the evil is craziness.

So, have a good day following Paul’s advice:

• “not avenging yourselves, beloved, but giving place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay, says the Lord." Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him. If he thirsts, give him drink. For in so doing you shall heap coals of fire on his head. Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.” (Rom 12:19-21).
