Bebe's interpretation
Instead of seeking revenge or attempting to settle scores, this verse calls us to place our trust in the Lord. God is our ultimate deliverer, and He promises to bring justice in His perfect timing. Patience and faith are required as we wait on the Lord, trusting that He will vindicate us when the time is right. In doing so, we allow God to handle the situation in His way, which often leads to peace and resolution. Revenge may seem satisfying in the moment, but it only perpetuates cycles of bitterness and anger. When we trust God’s timing, we are free from the burden of vengeance and can live in peace, knowing that God will take care of the rest. Waiting on God demonstrates humility and faith in His justice and wisdom.
