47 Days of Justice 2024 - Day 1: God is watching.

“Therefore thus says the Lord, “Behold, I will plead your case And take full vengeance for you; I will dry up her sea and great reservoir And make her fountain dry.”

‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭51:36‬ ‭AMP‬‬

On 11/21/21 I was seeking the Lord as to the next adventure we would be pursuing in the “Word of the Day.”

At that point in time, the Lord gave me several series consisting of any number of “Days”on a topic. The Lord chose the topic and the number of days, and I started in on each one, knowing He would be in charge of the direction of the adventure. Having just finished one of those series, I was asking the Lord where we would go next. He spoke to me in very clear terms that we were to have “47 Days of Justice.” The answer was so clear and so immediate that I had no doubt that the Lord had spoken. So, we embarked on our next journey: “47 Days of Justice.”

Now I’m very much a “round number” person, so I wondered why the 47 days. Naturally, I counted where that would take us. So, counting the first day, 47 days, made the 47th day, fall on January 6, 2022.

Now, few people in America—for that matter, in the civilized world—are unaware of what happened on January 6, 2021.

However, the 47 day series on justice was not meant to give commentary on that event. But, as I have said before, what we saw on that day, was undeniably the result of people feeling as though there had been a great injustice.

So, why am I speaking of this today? Well, as I was seeking the Lord over where He wanted me to go with the word, He supernaturally directed me back to that series on justice.

Again, I don’t have to tell you what happened yesterday. In an unprecedented move, a former president and current presidential candidate was found guilty of misdemeanor charges elevated to felony status. Indeed, many experts across the spectrum of political identifications have said that this whole process (including other charges being made elsewhere), go against a mountain of jurisprudence in the United States of America.

But, make no mistake, as we revisit this series, I will not be looking for an opportunity to pontificate on that or any other particular event. And, that event was nowhere in my mind when the Lord showed me what to pursue. The Lord has directed me back to this and I unapologetically press toward His mark.

So, we begin today with our “47 Days of Justice.” I will be presenting that same instruction with whatever the Lord wants to add to it, or take from it. We will go one day at a time seeing what He would have us to know and understand about justice from His perspective.

You see, God’s perspective is that of Truth, a Truth we can only see through His eyes (by way of the Holy Spirit). Indeed, His sight is unlimited. The Lord doesn’t observe through a frame of reference limiting His ability to rightly perceive and judge.

A frame of reference—by definition—is a boundary on one’s considerations. More simply put: your experience, your desires, your agenda, etc., will definitely skew and limit your judgment in terms of the nature of any situation, with justice being no exception.

God has no such difficulty. As such, many of the things we see the Lord do, or allow, seem to be an enigma to us. But remember, we have His Spirit in us so that we can—to some extent—see as He does.

Also remember, even though there will be things we can’t understand as they are occurring, we can rest in the Lord’s peace, and are undisturbed, even then.

It is also good to know that whatever ultimately happens to us is in the hand of the Lord. And, as we have recently discussed, He is the One to Whom all will give an account.

Consider this scripture:

“For the Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Ruler, The Lord is our King; He will save us.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭33:22‬ ‭AMP‬‬

When you belong to the Lord, you can be assured that even the most egregious injustices you do not now understand, will ultimately be answered by the Lord.

The Lord meant it when He said this concerning those who were oppressing His people:

“Vengeance is mine, and recompense, for the time when their foot shall slip; for the day of their calamity is at hand, and their doom comes swiftly.' For the Lord will vindicate his people and have compassion on his servants, when he sees that their power is gone and there is none remaining, bond or free.”

‭‭Deuteronomy‬ ‭32:35-36‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Vengeance belongs to the Lord. He alone is worthy to judge because His judgment is pure. Therefore, His justice is holy.

If you have been feeling frustrated, and it seems that “bad guys” are winning, please know that God is watching. He is waiting. And when the time is right, justice will be served!

“The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads. The eyes of all look to you in hope; you give them their food as they need it. When you open your hand, you satisfy the hunger and thirst of every living thing. The Lord is righteous in everything he does; he is filled with kindness. The Lord is close to all who call on him, yes, to all who call on him in truth. He grants the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cries for help and rescues them. The Lord protects all those who love him, but he destroys the wicked.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭145:14-20‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
