"They" is you and me

**Joyce Meyer


God is just. It is His character, who He is, and it is something He wants us to pursue.


Justice seeks to make wrong things right. It is us working throughout our lives to fix injustices in the world around us. Every time we see something that is wrong, our first response should be to pray about it. Our second response should be to ask ourselves, "What can I do about it?"


However, it does not even occur to most of us. It is like we look at things and think that it is someone else's problem, and we wish "they" would fix it! We wish "they" would do this and that.


Have you ever stopped to ask, "Who is they?" I think "they" is us, you and me! You may not be able to fix everything, but you can do something. Do not look at injustice and do nothing. You must do something because God did not create you for inactivity and passivity. He created you for enthusiasm, zeal and passion. He put gifts in you to be used for His glory and to help other people. Live a life of justice today.


Prayer starter: Holy Spirit, do not allow me to sit around wishing "they" would do something about the injustice in the world when I can do something. Fill me with boldness, and show me how to right the wrongs in the world around me.

Psalm 89:14

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
