Reflections on Justice

DAY 7 OF 31

As children of God, we are responsible for doing good and bringing light into the world. We can stand for justice and make a difference in the lives of those facing injustice.

In our communities, people are dealing with various forms of injustice, such as domestic violence and harassment. I think of one young woman staying in a Salvation Army hostel after facing mistreatment from her husband and in-laws. She was enduring it for the sake of her son. Through her goodness and the grace of God, she has come through to a happier and safer place. Many women like her are facing challenges at home and in the workplace.

Vulnerability and cultural barriers often push women into darkness. As Christians, we can be the light that brings hope to those who have been silenced. It is important to remember that fairness and justice should be extended to all, as Jesus demonstrated when he showed compassion to a woman caught in adultery (John 8:3-11). Let us raise our voices for the voiceless and, like a lamp on its stand, guide them towards a better path.

Challenge: You might have met women in darkness who are facing injustice and ignored them. Are you willing now? Spare time to listen, pray, and bring light to their lives.

Prayer:

I want, dear Lord, a soul on fire for thee,

A soul baptised with heavenly energy;

A willing mind, a ready hand

To do whate’er I know,

To spread thy light wherever I may go.

(Salvation Army Song Book 497 v 3)
