New Beginnings, Day 34

Anger and deceit. Read Genesis chapter 34.

Jacob’s daughter was raped and Jacob’s sons are upset. They are furious it happened. They are furious that Jacob hasn’t done anything. So, they devise a plan to get revenge. Throughout this time, they never came to God. They never consulted Him.

With sin in the world, unfortunately evil happens. What happened to Dinah was horrible and inexcusable. Jacob’s sons had every right to be furious. But, even in our anger at the injustices of the world, we can’t outstep God. Vengeance is the Lord’s. We can be angry, but we must bring our anger to God and allow Him to defend us.
