Over all injustices of life, does God get you through?

[MatthewG]

Everyone has been done wrong, or cause wrong to happen to others in life.

How do you cope with it?
Do you allow God to get you through?
Or is it good to hold grudges against those who you done wrong, is it good to forgive yourself with Christ in you, and forgive and move on?

“As dead flies cause even a bottle of perfume to stink, so a little foolishness spoils great wisdom and honor.

A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one. You can identify fools just by the way they walk down the street! If your boss is angry at you, don’t quit! A quiet spirit can overcome even great mistakes.

There is another evil I have seen under the sun.

Kings and rulers make a grave mistake when they give great authority to foolish people and low positions to people of proven worth.

I have even seen servants riding horseback like princes—and princes walking like servants!

When you dig a well, you might fall in. When you demolish an old wall, you could be bitten by a snake. When you work in a quarry, stones might fall and crush you.

When you chop wood, there is danger with each stroke of your ax. Using a dull ax requires great strength, so sharpen the blade.

That’s the value of wisdom; it helps you succeed. If a snake bites before you charm it, what’s the use of being a snake charmer? Wise words bring approval, but fools are destroyed by their own words.

Fools base their thoughts on foolish assumptions, so their conclusions will be wicked madness; they chatter on and on.

No one really knows what is going to happen; no one can predict the future. Fools are so exhausted by a little work that they can’t even find their way home.

What sorrow for the land ruled by a servant, the land whose leaders feast in the morning.

Happy is the land whose king is a noble leader and whose leaders feast at the proper time to gain strength for their work, not to get drunk.

Laziness leads to a sagging roof; idleness leads to a leaky house. A party gives laughter, wine gives happiness, and money gives everything!

Never make light of the king, even in your thoughts. And don’t make fun of the powerful, even in your own bedroom. For a little bird might deliver your message and tell them what you said.”
‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I believe in forgiving when people might do wrong to me. Forgive and move on.

Likewise, I believe we should be willing to forgive ourselves if we should fall or fail in some way. We need to remember the Lord has forgiven us and loves us....so we should think upon that, rather than rehashing our faults.

How do you cope with it?

Are we talking about life kicking one in the teeth or about being a victim of man's malice?

If both events are life changing, then one gets through them by trusting in God for daily or hourly/ moments by moment strength and grace to keep going.

There is no automatic God given lifeline.
One has to deliberately trust God even when all one can do is scream.
God is faithful, he will help one through the worst situation.
