Waiting for righteousness and justice

The Lord is a God of justice; happy are all who wait for him. ~ Isaiah 30:18b (CEB)

Since we know that Christ is righteous, we also know that all who do what is right are God’s children. ~ 1 John 2:29 (NLT)

KEY IDEA:
Christ is righteous and just. As his children we will practice righteousness and justice, too.
PRAYER:
Lord, you are worth waiting for. Your kindness exceeds all my expectations. Yet, I get impatient and push for quick results -- short-cuts. Help me to live a righteous and just life now as I patiently anticipate the fullness of your righteousness and justice. I'm going to happily play the long game -- your long game. Amen.
