It’s better to forgive than to Revenge
1 Samuel 25:9-11
But David said to Abishai, “Don’t destroy him! Who can lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed and be guiltless? As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “the LORD himself will strike him; either his time will come and he will die, or he will go into battle and perish. But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD’s anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let’s go.”

David has already the chance to take revenge to the King and kill him but he didn’t do it. He is a faithful servant of God, because he didn’t let the temptation fall on him even though it is already in his front. He doesn’t want to do anything wrong to the person whom God annointed to be King. He has the Trusting Heart that everything will be alright. He knows that God will always with him and help him always, that’s why he just let God to be the one to take Saul’s life.
Whateve the things that the other poeple has done to me, I should not take or think to do any revenge to them, because it is the Lord who will give revenge or punishment to any one who done to us wrong. Especially when dealling with the leaders in the church, and not only so, also to those leaders in the government, I may not want the way they govern, I must still be submissive to them because they are in the higher authority than me. Especially also when some of our church leaders lead not in a good manner, we must not take any bad attitude to them, we must respect them and not do anything that take the risk of their lives. Even though we have some misunderstandings with them, we must talk with them in a right manner.
As a servant of God, we must do all our activities in accordance to His will. We must not do anything that can hurt somebody else.
