Justice

Monday August 25th, Isaiah 51: 5 My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm. When we think of God’s justice we tend to think of bringing someone else to justice rather than bringing justice to someone else. The first is akin to revenge and usually turns around and bites us in the behind. The second calls us to action and often, sacrifice. It usually turns around and blessed us. Out tendency to go for the first rather than the second shows our lack of trust in God and God’s ways. God’s justice will come, we need to decide if we want to be a part of it or not.
