Justice – Daily Journal
Proverbs 21:15 ESV
When justice is done, it is a joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.
Amos 5:24 ESV
But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
Isaiah 1:17 ESV
Learn to do good; seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.
Romans 12:19 ESV
Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.”
Isaiah 30:18 ESV
Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.
Micah 6:8 ESV
He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?
Justice is put in the hands of the authorities as to the ultimate final ruling. Seeking justice is to make right or good. Reversing the evil doing. Reading these passages, it seems good to work toward justice and make sure it is truly good as the outcome. Acts done in revenge are not justice, but with ill intent. The same is true with revengeful words.
These are my thoughts for today – Stay Hungry, Stay Humble, and Love! Very much summed up in here.
