One of my miniature painting is stolen from gallery, I was told today.
First I started to laugh, because it cross my mind that this thief obviously judged my painting as worth to steal (there were many other paintings from 20 or so other painters). And I blessed that guy and leave him into Gods hands.
Then I realize something else and that encourage me to write this post.
This thief didn't do any harm to me, because I am a daughter from Almighty God, saved by the blood of Jesus and the Lord will compensate any damage that occurred to me, but thief did a terrible thing to God. He offended God and he will answer to Him about his doing.
"You shall not steal." Exodus 20:15
No matter if that guy knows the Bible or not, he will be judged one day and he need to pay for his doings. If he doesn't repent and beg God to forgive him, he will start paying now and until eternity.
Jeremiah 7:9-10
You steal, murder, commit adultery, lie when you take oaths, burn incense as an offering to Baal, and run after other gods that you do not know.
Then you stand in my presence in the house that is called by my name. You think that you're safe to do all these disgusting things.
"The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully. ...
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them;
I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD." Ezekiel 22:29,31
"Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6:10
That hit me, and I felt sorry for the thief and I pray for him. I pray that the Lord open his eyes and his heart and that my painting don't give him rest until he came to the face of the Father before it would be to late.
No one can past unpunished if one touches in to the army of Almighty God.
I'm His and He pays for the work I'm doing by His word:
...for the laborer is worthy of his wages ... Luke 10:7
...for the worker is worthy of his support. ... Matthew 10:10
