On Justice
So, on this blog I’m not normally the one writing… just the one relaying what’s going on at our bases. But I have to share. Last night my Bible flipped open to Psalm 10. Being curious, I started to read and was absolutely amazed.
O Lord, you have heard the desire of the humble; You will strengthen their heart, You will incline your ear to vindicate the orphan and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may cause terror no more.
Psalm 10:17-18
This is our cry. Think about it, this generation longs to be heard by God. We long for the day when poverty ends. When injustice is no more. When human trafficking does not exist. We want justice for the oppressed. And two thousand or so years ago who ever wrote this Psalm was crying out to God for the same thing: justice. So we ask God to make the wrong things write, but then He asks us to partner with Him to make the wrong things right.
So we do that. We feed the hungry, care for the orphan and the widow. We bring the Gospel into the dark places and minister to broken families. We become the the testimony of who God is. So my challenge for you is to be Jesus right where you are to the people who surround your life each day.
