Justice

Acting with righteousness and justice is more valued by the Lord than sacrifice. ~ Proverbs 21:3 (CEB)

Don’t judge by appearances. Judge by what is right. ~ John 7:24 (CEV)

KEY IDEA:
The Lord expects his people to major in justice and right living.
PRAYER:
Lord, thank you for defining justice as you do. I regret that I'm such a shallow person. Even though I recognize what you expect I'm quick to make decisions about people based on externals -- like whether they attend church enough or use the right Christian words or hang out with decent people. Move me deeper so that I become passionate about what moves you. I'm going to start by looking at what moved Jesus. Amen.
