JUSTICE

PSALM 37:28
The LORD loves justice.

LUKE 20:25 (CEB)
Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”

SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is interested in making sure that everyone gets what is theirs.

PRAYER
God of justice and mercy, it is so hard for us to figure out how to be consistently just. When we go out of the way to make sure that one person or group gets their due others feel slighted. Help me never give up on justice even when it is hard and complicated. Fill me with your wisdom so that I can sort through the problems that are on my plate. I'm trusting that you will be merciful as you deal with my shortcomings in the realm of justice. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
