"This is what the Lord Almighty said: ‘Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the foreigner or the poor. Do not plot evil against each other.’" -Zechariah 7:9-10 (NIV)
We have countless interactions with people each day. Whether we are just passing by someone, talking on the phone, communicating through e-mail or social media, or interacting in person, we are responding to others. In each interaction and response we have an opportunity and a responsibility to act in ways that are just!
When we consider our actions, we can judge how just our actions are by comparing them to the standard that God has set. God is merciful, graceful, and just. He shows us through His Word and the examples He provides of how to be just. If we call on Him, He will guide us in the ways of His wisdom. We should act for true justice in everything we do and we can know justice by knowing God!
Know God, know true justice, and act for justice in each of your interactions with others!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for teaching me and sharing Your wisdom. Help me to know justice and to always act in ways that are truly just. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
