In the night my soul longs for You [O Lord ], Indeed, my spirit within me seeks You diligently; For [only] when Your judgments are experienced on the earth Will the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness. ISAIAH 26:9 AMP
How does if feel when you encounter injustice around you? Does it move you to do better, to improve what you see, to make things better than you find them? Or does it make no impression on you? Is it that you are also contributing to the injustice around you, whilst complaining that life is unfair?
Today's extract speaks to something fundamental: you must be careful of your inner life, while you seek to affect the outer life. This writer was diligently seeking God to intervene in the affairs around him, with his soul desperate for God. Can I pray the same prayer? Can I ask God to use my life as a launch pad to reach the world with his justice and righteousness?
Indeed, the world seems to have forgotten God and is headed down the paths of destruction. Anyway, the end of this present world as we know it is destruction. But while we wait, God wants to move, he wants to bless lives, he wants to use us to do mighty things in the earth. But if your life is not tested and proven by God, the world will consume you. When God sends his judgment on the earth, on which side would you be? You are the one who gets to decide where you fit; it all boils down to what you are doing now. Better be sure. His time of favour is here.
