LET JUSTICE ROLL ON
In the above reference from verses 18 to 24 we see that the people were calling for the day of the Lord, thinking it would bring end to their troubles. But God says that He would bring justice, and justice would bring the punishment people deserved for their sins. Let us notice the word at the beginning of verse 24. God is looking for a living faith. The living faith here is to express it in acts of righteousness and justice. Here God is looking for a people who are not just hearers of the Word but doers of the Word. The name Gilgal (which is mentioned in this chapter) means roll, and the word roll is here in verse 24. If we look up Joshua 5:9, the reproach of Egypt, the bondage and the captivity, the Lord rolled away. The rolling which they had forgotten is the rolling on of righteousness, justice and good works. They rolled into Gilgal in their droves for the feasts, but when they got home there was no rolling out of their faith in justice and righteousness. A living faith in God will express itself in good deeds.
Dear God,
We praise you and adore you for your nature is morally right and fair. We ask you for strengh to fight for those who are suffering injustice. Help us to reach out to the destitutes, the social outcasts and those who are vulnerable and negelected. – Amen

My inspiration for this 30 days Devotional is from prolonged theological discourses on Justice. My burning desire is to see that the Church becomes catalyst to stop violence against the poor. I am also grateful to Organizations who work relentlessly to secure Justice for the poor.
