2 Chronicles 16-20: Verse of the Day

"Now behod, the sons of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom You did not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt..., see how they are rewarding us by coming to drive us out from Your possession which You have given us as an inheritance" (2 Chron 20:10-11).

When Israel began to enter their promised land, conquering the nations, the Lord prevented them from taking away the possession of their brothers, Edom, Moab, and Ammon. Here we see these very nations attempting to do that very thing to their brother. We must do what is right in the eyes of God despite the way we're treated and we must rely on the Lord to avenge those who sin against Him. We are neither His judges nor His destroyers, but we are His servants who have been graciously granted His land for our inheritance!
