Today’s Readings:
Psalm 30-31
Isaiah 61
Matthew 18:15-35
8 “For I, Yahweh, love fairness and justice,
Isaiah 61:8-9
and I hate stealing and sin.
I will rightly repay them because of my faithfulness
and enter into an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Their seed will be famous among the nations,
and their descendants the center of attention of the people.
All who see them will recognize
that they are the seed that Yahweh has blessed with favor!”
Justice is on The Lord’s Heart
The Lord says,
My heart is set on justice. Justice for the children, justice for the broken hearted, justice for the abused, the maligned, the mistreated. Justice for the victims of senseless tragedies. Justice for the mothers and the fathers, the soldiers, the first responders, the health care workers. Justice for all those who put their lives on the line to save, to rescue to help. Justice for the brave ones who gave up everything. Justice for the broken hearted ones that were left behind. Justice for a nation with a gaping open wound that has yet to heal. Justice for the victims, for the families who are treated as show and tell by self-serving, greedy, empty-hearted politicians seeking their own gain, promoting their own face. This seeking a name and a face in the midst of tragedy are repugnant to me. Those capitalizing off of death, destruction, chaos and tragedy are vile in My sight. They will meet My justice.
Turning the Page
The Lord says,
We are swiftly turning the page into justice days. The days we are in have been piling up tragedy, terror, fear, death, destruction, division and chaos. These have been piled high in My sight and in the sight of all the peoples. It feels like you are surrounded by it on every side, but I Am turning the page on this. I Am bringing us to a new page, a page of right and a page of justice.
The evils done against the people make me sick. They turn My stomach and they burn in My heart. My justice will be poured out thick and heavy in the land.
For those seeking justice it will be like honey and oil — sweet and healing to their bodies, hearts and minds. For those who have perpetuated evils and aligned with evils against the people – especially from places of power, positions of influence – regardless of the level. To them it will be like a thick black tar that immobilizes them, shuts their mouth and makes it difficult to see and even breathe.
I Am turning the page to justice days. And My justice will not stop being poured out until it is done.
7 In mercy you have seen my troubles, and you have cared for me;
Psalm 31:7-8
even during this crisis in my soul I will be radiant with joy,
filled with praise for your love and mercy.
8 You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy;
you broke open the way to bring me to freedom,
into a beautiful, broad place.
Healing Is Available Now
The Lord says,
I Am bringing layers and levels of healing even before My justice for many. I Am bringing and making this healing available, so that justice can be properly received and it can be a bookend to the tragedy, instead of a newly opened door back to it.
For those who come, humble themselves in front of Me and ask for My healing in their hearts, minds and souls related to a tragedy or trauma, abuse or deep wound, I will pour My gentle and light healing oil out on them. And they will find rest and peace and wholeness again. For these, justice will be a beautiful bookend.
Don’t count your experience, your trauma, your tragedy, your wound too small or too big for My healing oil’s power. Come and watch Me work. Sit with Me, humble yourself, ask Me, and I will pour it out. My full healing is here and available. Let Me restore you. Let Me make you whole. Let Me change your heart and bind up your wounds.
Joy will come again. Hope will come again. Truth and trust will be restored. Faith will rise up from your heart again. Invite Me in. Let Me heal those places. Don’t protect and hide your wounds from Me. They only fester in pain that way. Bring them before Me and watch Me restore every broken place.
These are Justice days. My justice is moving, and justices big and small will be seen and experienced across the land.
