#Beware of cause and effect!..
Gen 34:25-26 Three days later, while all of them were still in pain, two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city, killing every male. They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem’s house and left.
#Beware of the spirit of vengeance!
Gen 34:27-29 The sons of Jacob came upon the dead bodies and looted the city where[c] their sister had been defiled. They seized their flocks and herds and donkeys and everything else of theirs in the city and out in the fields. They carried off all their wealth and all their women and children, taking as plunder everything in the houses.
#Beware of taking spoils!
Gen 34:30 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. We are few in number, and if they join forces against me and attack me, I and my household will be destroyed.”
Gen 34:31 But they replied, “Should he have treated our sister like a prostitute?”
Let us pray: Father God, grant us the grace to forgive in the name of Jesus
#Life questions and meditation:
1. Do you take vengeance over offences?
2. Are you aware of the effect of taking vengeance?
