47 Days of Justice 2024 - Day 47: Only the rule of Christ will abolish injustice forever!

“He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?”

‭‭Micah‬ ‭6:8‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

I could not have known 47 days ago the events that would transpire within this period of time. Indeed, the Lord ordained these 47 days of instruction to prophetically help us navigate the events within this period of time and beyond.

We don’t know what the coming days will hold. However, we can be sure that as we follow the Lord, listening to the leading of His Holy Spirit, He will keep us safe and prepared, wherever our path of following Him leads.

Over the last 47 days we have discussed many aspects of justice.

We have considered what justice is and what it is not.

As well, we have examined the many motivations that foment injustice in the world, ranging from self-absorption and self-interest, to outright evil intent.

I will again caution you here that we must not define justice as what we want to see happen.

When our own agenda skews the definition of justice, it’s only a matter of time until we turn a blind eye to injustice, or personally commit the same.

The standard we must use to determine what is just, what is right, is the word of God. Indeed, we must comport ourselves within His standards and guidelines. Those guidelines are not just for other people.

Given, as long as we live in a fallen world, we will see injustice. However, we must not grow numb to injustice such that we may be inadvertently accepting it. And certainly, we must never be the one who commits injustice.

Now, there is no doubt that we will personally experience injustice. But, we must not become bitter and calloused to the suffering of others as a result of our personal abuse.

It would be very easy to become overwhelmed when seeing the lies, the deceit, and the perversion of justice, so rampant in our world.

Yes, it’s hard to accept the travesty of such things as a two-tiered justice system where what you have, and/or with whom you are associated, assures the receiving of justice, whereas those who do not fall in that category, have their cries for justice fall on deaf ears.

I’m not saying that the prospects of seeing justice must wait for the next life. But I will tell you, only the coming eternal Kingdom of Jesus Christ will truly bring justice for all.

So, we anxiously await the rule and reign of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will set all things right and will rule and reign in justice.

In the meantime, we can possess His peace now, knowing that even if we are suffering injustice, He knows, He sees, He cares, and He will repay.

I’ll leave you today with this prayer from Saint Francis of Assisi:

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.

Where there is hatred, let me sow love;

where there is injury, pardon;

where there is doubt, faith;

where there is despair, hope;

where there is darkness, light;

and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek

to be consoled as to console;

to be understood as to understand;

to be loved as to love.

For it is in giving that we receive;

it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;

and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Amen.

Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
