How can there be justice in my mess?
No matter what my or your mess is, Truth defeats lies of the devil, the world, and our fallen human nature.
Righteousness is promised in the Word.
God’s justification is where His peace enters the life of a sinner in the form of a divine gift. God creates faith to believe in Jesus. Thankfully, He knows us better than we know ourselves and His love for us doesn’t change upon circumstance or His Divine Knowledge of how depraved we are.
“For I know how many are your transgressions and how great are your sins” Amos 5:12
The difficult things God allows are for His purpose to bring people to contrition, confession, and change for their own (or another person’s) present or eternal good. In an act of grace, His Spirit supports people through the process of confession and life of faith. Still, God’s good grace is a gift which can be received or rejected.
“Let love be genuine; abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.” Romans 12:9 read the chapter
We cannot save ourselves from the messes we make, nor those we protest.
Jesus died and was raised to forgive and clear us from our disordered position. All who receive His righteousness grow in knowledge, strength, trust, and joy! His perfect work heals and saves—it blesses and reverses the curse for the life to come.
Our Creator tenderly and constantly is doing reconciling work in our lives.
The earth’s groaning in earthquakes and hardships are reminders to repent and turn to God for mercy. Beware of complacency. We do not deserve anything, yet forgiveness is made possible by the powerful, everflowing stream of Christ’s compassionate understanding, love and grace. His Spirit encourages us to serve Him and others by blessing us with words at the right moments—opportunities God provides for us to share this life-saving Good News. In gratitude, we share with others and cherish others who connect with us regarding the Gospel.
Amos 5:24

| But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. Amos 5:24 |
God wants justice for the oppressed.
Injustices are constant in the world. Integrity is doing what God says when we allow Him to guide us.
“God’s people are to produce justice continually and swiftly, like the flow of a river. Just as plants and animals need a steady supply of water to survive, so also human communities can flourish only when justice and righteousness prevail.” The Lutheran Study Bible
God’s commands are to show our need for Him; also, to help us love Him and each other. He wants us to have right relationships. He will take actions to correct injustice. God confronts evil for His purposes to have mercy on us and restore us to walk in newness of life.
God and God Alone
by Steve GreenGod and God alone created all these things we call our own
From the mighty to the small, the Glory in them all is God’s and God’s alone
God and God alone reveals the truth of all we call unknown
and the best and worst of man won’t change the Master’s plan it’s God’s and God’s alone
God and God alone is fit to take the universe’s throne
Let everything that lives reserve its truest praise for God and God alone
Read a Christian perspective on the decision by the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) Dobbs v. Jackson reversal of Roe v. Wade, stating the Constitution does not confer a right to abortion and returning the issue to the states. This positive action makes pro-life faithful people thankful for potential measures to protect lives of the most vulnerable. We pray individuals and states would step up and take responsibility to protect unborn babies.
