"If thine enemy be
hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty,
give him water to drink: for thou shalt heap coals
of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward
thee."Proverbs 25:21, 22. The application is often that you ought to
repay good for evil, and that is a general
interpretation. But there is a spiritual
interpretation. In Romans 12:20 we read,
"Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt
heap coals of fire on his head." The whole thought
throughout this passage is this: "Dearly beloved,
avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will
repay, saith the Lord" (Romans 12:19). The minute
a Christian takes it into his hands to get revenge
or get even, he has become the judge and is no
longer walking by faith. Rather, he is saying to the
world and also to the Lord, "I'll handle this my
own way." The pathway of faith is to turn your
enemy over to God. You and I are walking by faith
when we say, "Lord, the enemy has hurt and
wounded me, and I turn this over to you." The
Lord will handle it, and you can know that He's
going to handle it in a right manner. He'll do the
judging of the individual – you don't do it. He's
going to make every wrong right, friends. He's got
a lot of things to take care of that have happened
in the past. He's going to take care of them
someday, so turn it over to Him. That's the
pathway of faith.
