Pro 25:22 | MHM | STEP | v. 22 : For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee . Treating our enemies with kindness may change their hearts. It can turn their anger into friendship, just as hot coals melt metal. If they do not change, our kindness makes their wrongdoing even clearer to God, and they will face His judgment. Either way, God promises to reward us for being merciful, even if our enemy stays unfriendly. He will take care of our needs and remember our good deeds, if not now, then surely when He judges everyone’s actions. This verse reminds us that God values mercy and kindness, and He will reward those who follow His ways (Proverbs 24:17; Romans 12:20 ).
