Reflection

In today's readings, the tension between present injustice and future judgment pulses powerfully. Job expresses deep frustration as he observes the wicked prospering. He maintains his integrity despite suffering. Revelation unveils God's certain judgment on corrupt systems that seem invincible. Together they assure us that God sees every injustice. He will bring ultimate accountability, even when evil appears triumphant.

The key insight we can draw from these passages is this: God's justice may be delayed from our perspective, but it is never denied, calling us to maintain integrity while trusting His perfect timing.

Let's break this down into a simple principle:

Trust God's ultimate justice in the face of present injustice, maintaining personal integrity while awaiting His vindication.

Here are five practical steps we can take to apply today's readings:

1. List three current injustices you see and commit them to God in prayer.

2. Identify one area where you're tempted to compromise integrity and choose righteousness instead.

3. Encourage someone who feels discouraged by injustice with God's promise of judgment.

4. Examine your heart for any attraction to worldly systems that oppose God's values.

5. Practice patient endurance by choosing trust over bitterness in one specific situation.

As you go about your day, reflect on this question: How does knowing God will judge all evil change your response to current injustice?

Conclusion
Thank you for joining me today. God sees every injustice and will bring perfect judgment in His time. Maintain your integrity and trust His timing. Until tomorrow, may you wait patiently for His justice while walking righteously today.
