JUSTICE FOR ALL
Bible Text: Micah 3:1-3, 9-12; 6:6-8
RBT Passage: l Samuel 1-3
“He has shown you, O mortal, what is And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” – Micah 6:8, NIV
Salt is an important substance in the home, especially in the kitchen. No matter the amount of money you spend in preparing a special delicacy, if you forget to add salt to it, the food will be tasteless. Salt is powerful in unlocking the goodness and pleasantness in food substances.
Prophet Micah taught his audience the secret of an acceptable life unto God. He asked whether a burnt offering will be acceptable, will a thousand rams be acceptable, will a thousand rivers of oil satisfy God, and will the sacrifice of his son please God? All these are important to God, but they make no sense to God if one ingredient is lacking. This ingredient is called justice.
Justice is knowing and doing the right thing to everybody at every time. This is the one attitude that makes all religious activities meaningful and acceptable to God.
Remember Jesus Christ says, ‘You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot’ Matthew 5:13, (NIV).
Insight: You can only get and enjoy God’s defense if you live justly.
Prayer: Jesus Christ, build in me a life filled with love.
