"YIELD PLACE TO THE WRATH

 Read Romans 12:19. When the apostle Paul urged Christians to "yield place to the wrath," Whose wrath was he referring to? According to the context, it is Jehovah's wrath. We yield place to Jehovah's wrath by letting him bring justice in his own time and in his own way. After a brother named John was treated unfairly, he said: "I had to fight the urge to pursue righting the wrong in my way. Romans 12:19 helped me to wait on Jehovah." 

We benefit when we wait on Jehovah to correct a matter. If we do so, we will be spared the burden and frustration of trying to solve the problem ourselves.  Jehovah offers to help us. He says, as it were, 'Leave the injustice to me; "I will take care of things.' If we accept Jehovah's promise "I will repay," we can let the matter go, confident that he will handle it in the best possible way. That is what helped John, mentioned earlier. He said: "If I can just wait on Jehovah, he will handle it far better than I can."
