Message summary & scripture references
When harm (intentionally or unintentionally) comes to us or those we love at the hands of another human, our flesh cries out for vengeance. However, vengeance is a seed we cannot afford to sow because the harvest of the vengeance seed is death. The only person who can handle the harvest of vengeance is God. Listen to today’s Daily Word to explore this concept.

[27] Neither give place to the devil.
