We Grow: A Journey of Drawing Closer to GodSample

Day 287 of 365

The book of Nahum vividly portrays God’s judgment against Nineveh, revealing His intolerance of injustice and oppression. Yet, God’s judgment is rooted in His unwavering holiness and deep love for His people—He will not tolerate evil forever. In Acts 23, Paul faces fierce opposition, but he stands boldly, trusting in God’s justice and faithfulness. The Holy Spirit reassures us that, just as God upheld justice for Nineveh, He will address every wrongdoing in His perfect timing, bringing justice to those who wait on Him.

God’s justice is intertwined with His mercy, as He longs to bring about restoration and healing. This dual nature of God—just and merciful—challenges us to live lives that reflect His values. When we encounter injustice, the Spirit encourages us to seek solutions through prayer, humility, and love rather than seeking revenge. Trusting in God’s justice enables us to release our burdens and anger, knowing that He will act on our behalf.

Today, invite the Holy Spirit to deepen your trust in God’s justice and mercy. When you encounter unfair treatment or witness wrongdoing, remember that God sees all and will act in His timing. May your faith in His righteous judgment inspire others to seek peace and trust in His ultimate wisdom.
