Unstoppable Justice
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!—Amos 5:24 (NIV)
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.—Matthew 5:44 (NIV)
Pray for those who persecute you. Praying for someone that isn’t good to you is not easy— especially when you are angry or hurt—but it is exactly what Jesus requests of you in the above verse. By sincerely praying for the worst people in your life, you grow closer to God.
Father, today I pray for the people that have not been best to me—I open my heart to you and sincerely wish them the best.
But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!—Amos 5:24 (NIV)
Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.—Galatians 1:10 (NIV)
“No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”—John 8:11 (NIV)
