Lots of people talk about social justice and whatโs wrong in the world.
Justice is important to God too. Itโs so important, that how to live justly is a consistent theme throughout the Bible. Following Jesus means we have to know Him, and part of knowing Him is knowing whatโs important to Him. So if itโs important to God, it should be important to us.
In spending time reflecting on what God says about justice, it is our hope that your heart will resonate with Godโs toย act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. It’s no easy task, but itโs a worthy calling. As we apply Godโs heart of justice, weโll see ourselves, and others, changed as the kingdom of heaven comes to earth.
Day 1
โHere is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, and he will bring justice to the nations… In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; he will not falter or be discouraged till he establishes justice on earth. In his teaching the islands will put their hopeโย Isaiah 42:1-4
