Genesis 34
Shechem defiled Jacob's daughter Dinah and is easily understood that Simeon and Levi would be angry. Yet revenge is for the Lord.
God wants us to forgive others as He forgave us.
My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are truly an awesome God who has forgiven me - overwhelmingly for my sins. You are SO full of grace and compassion. Thank You Jesus. Please forgive me for my worry. Help me overcome such sin and turn towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. Help me love others as You do. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have brought trouble on me by making me obnoxious to the Canaanites and Perizzites, the people living in this land. v30

Therefore,
as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with
compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Colossians 3:12-13
My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19-20
