Stop Taking Matters Into Your Own Hands

When someone wrongs you, the first instinct is to handle it yourself. The harder, older posture is learning to leave it with God.

Pastor Jeff Cramer works through Genesis 34 — Jacob's daughter Dinah is violated, and his sons respond with a scheme that ends in massacre. The manipulation and self-reliance look familiar because the sons learned it from their father. Jeff traces that generational pattern, unpacks the difference between revenge and vengeance, and makes the case that trusting God with the wrongs done to us isn't weakness — it's the most mature thing a believer can do.
