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 7
And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, โIn a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, โGive me justice against my adversary.โ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, โThough I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.โโ Luke 18:1-8
