What does the Bible say about getting even, for kids?
Psalm 9:15 paints a picture of someone who digs a hole to trick another person and then falls into it themselves (Psalm 9:15). It teaches that mean tricks usually come back around, but kind choices come back around too, so when you are honest, share, and help, good things grow around you. Tonight you do not have to worry about getting even with anybody; you can let that go and rest, because God is fair.
