Steps That Look Toward Justice
My dear son,
I do not turn away from or abandon the people I cherish. When injustice is visible, justice has not ceased to matter. I judge rightly and watch over those seeking an upright path with honest hearts.
Look beyond what benefits you alone. If there are circumstances you have not heard, listen to them; if you have misunderstood, make a correction. Fairness can be practiced in those nearby, ordinary places.
Make the right choice that is yours to make today. You need not carry every matter in the world alone. Lean on me, the one who loves justice, and let us begin with a step that honors the person beside you.
With all my love,
Your Father
Psalms 94:14–15
WEB14For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.
15For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it.
A short reflection
Amid a lament over unjust oppression, the psalm affirms that God will not forsake his people and that judgment will return to righteousness.
