Not an Issue of Justice, But of Faith
"I tell you, God will help his people quickly! But when the
Son of Man comes again, will he find people on earth who
believe in him?"
-- Luke 18:8 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
One of the hardest things we face as human beings is ongoing injustice.
This is especially true when that injustice is directed toward us. Yet
tens of thousands of believers in Jesus face injustice, hardship,
brutality, and persecution each year. When believers face these hard
times, it is hard to believe that they will ever receive justice. It is
especially disturbing when those in power are corrupt and are the ones
treating them unfairly. However, Jesus reminds us that the issue isn't
injustice but faithfulness. God will settle accounts and bring justice.
The real question is whether or not we'll stick in there and not give
up under fire. Hang in! Pray for the Father to hear you! Don't give up,
for God will not only bring justice, but he will also bring salvation
and victory.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, through your Holy Spirit, please inspire me to faithful
endurance no matter what circumstances, evil people, or Satan may bring
my way. In Jesus' name. Amen.
