Injustice has always been around ever since Adam and Eve fell short of perfection and destroyed the human race forever. We are living in a time where injustice in my opinion has skyrocketed. The issues of modern day slavery, human trafficking, abortion, oppression, genocide, and innocent killings to name a few...are on the forefront of this battle. We indeed are in a spiritual battle, Satan knows his time is short. The bible says that he is a roaring lion seeking to devour as many as he can. As Jesus return nears we can expect injustice to increase and abound in every way. What should our response be?
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow's cause. Is 1:17
Thus says the Lord: Do justice and righteousness, and
deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong
or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed
innocent blood in this place. Jeremiah 22:3
Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the
afflicted and the destitute. Psalm 82:3
These are just a few scripture verses that should help us in our response to injustice. There are many more, but for the sake of time I will just name a few. We as believers must have no excuse, we are called to correct oppression, and bring justice to the fatherless, the widow, the orphan and the oppressed. It is up to us to become well aware of who the fatherless, orphan, widow, and oppressed are that we might help. I urge you to become aware of human trafficking in your city or nation, find out how you can be a voice to stop this injustice. Let us love mercy, and do justly!
Prayer: Lord Jesus give me the strength and ability today to fight for justice. Let me be a voice for those that have no voice. Bring forth your word and your power in Jesus name.
