Seeking Justice

DAY 2 OF 4

Internal Justice

God promises He will bring all things to account, including every deep and hidden thing. There will be no thought, deed, or motive that will not be brought into full transparency.

When we perceive a wrong done to us, our initial instinct is to seek justice. To judge, and then to make it right. When we desire this, we are seeking something good. Jesus installed justice in our souls.

We are, however, much less inclined to judge ourselves similarly. When we see and react to injustice, it is worth asking ourselves whether our reaction informs us of some profound injustice within our soul. Perhaps there is something buried deep between soul and spirit. Something Jesus can see, but we cannot.

Since all things will be brought to light, it is of great benefit to root out darkness in this life, to set aside encumbrances lurking beneath our consciousness. To clear away the muck that poisons our souls.

Rather than succumbing to our first instinct to criticize, let’s first look for the speck in our eye. Let’s remember that God is God, and we are not. Conviction is the Spirit’s job. When we put on God’s robe and sit in His judgment seat, we are out of order.

When we see injustice, let’s ask God to open our eyes, peer into our hearts, and let His cleansing light clear the dark places while we are still on this side of glory.

About this Plan

Seeking Justice

Fighting for justice is something we applaud. But the power to right wrongs is quite limited for most of us. We must leave justice to God. Trusting God requires that we trust Him to be our Avenger. What will God’s vengeance look like? God will decide. It might look like Him dying in our place. Or theirs.
