There's a moment that many of us have quietly dreamed about.

The day the tables finally turn.

The day the person who hurt you, overlooked you, or tried to destroy you, is suddenly at your mercy.

What would you do in that moment?

Today, on Insight for Living, Chuck Swindall examines the people who had every legal right

to unleash everything they'd stored up for months.

What they chose to do instead will challenge you, convict you, and ultimately set you free.

From his study of Esther, Chuck titled today's message,

The Limitations of Retaliation.

I want to ask you several questions, and I think without exception, all of us will have the same

answer. You'll see what I mean. Have you ever lost your temper? Ever been so busy that your

prayer life got squeezed out of your daily schedule?

Ever worried so much that you became ill at ease down inside?

Ever eaten too much so that you put on weight?

Ever find thoughts of envy and anger and materialism and lust?

Come back, even though you tell the Lord this is going to be the last time you'll have to come to him with these things.

How about this one?

Ever said too much?

And then had to go back and try to make it right, even apologize,

only to say too much again a little later on.

All of these things could fall under the category of yielding to the temptation to go too far.

There isn't a person who can honestly answer those questions any other way, but yes.
