The One Thing Social Justice Leaves Out….

The one thing social justice leaves out in its pursuits to make things right, is God. Without God there will never be “real justice”. How can there be? God is the only Judge Who knows all the details from every side. His judgements are 100% accurate. He is just. Jesus, Himself, said “In this world we will have trouble, but take heart, for I have overcome the world”. In the world’s pursuit of revenge, retaliation, and seeking justice, if it leaves God out of the equation, then the best it can hope for will be disappointment and dashed dreams. God is just. It’s up to us to trust that He will do justice when injustice comes our way. And even if we are never justified here on earth, we will be once we enter Heaven in His presence. Job, even though he couldn’t figure out the “why” of his suffering, knew he could trust his Maker in the process. Do you have confidence in God? Do you trust Him when injustice comes your way? God is just. Stand on this truth when the feelings of retribution come your way; you’ll find yourself on solid ground when you do.

3 If only I knew where to find God, I would go to His court.4 I would lay out my case and present my arguments.5 Then I would listen to His reply and understand what He says to me.6 Would He use His great power to argue with me? No, He would give me a fair hearing. 7 Honest people can reason with Him, so I would be forever acquitted by my judge. Job 23:3-7

10 Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.He will judge all peoples fairly. Psalms 96:10

13 before the Lord, for He is coming!He is coming to judge the earth.He will judge the world with justice,and the nations with His truth. Psalms 96:13
