When we see Injustice we can basically choose to see and respond to the situation from one of two perspectives. The first is that God is pouring out his compassion on those affected by the injustice and we need to join Him in His work. The second is that God has turned his back on the injustice, and we must do something to fill His void.

Our response to God at work can either lead to following Him , making excuses, or complete denial.

If Jesus were to ask you, "What do you want me to do for you?" what would you say? Do you even know what you desire Him to accomplish in you, instead of what you want Him to do in those around you and in your situations?

Walking humbly and lowly as a follower of Jesus is where God can work and make the impossible, possible.

We can observe things, participate in daily activities, basically live life either recognizing God or denying his existence among these things.

Loving God requires action. It requires moving our hearts towards acts of devotion to God instead of the gods of this world, moving ourselves towards prioritizing serving God instead of serving ourselves, moving ourselves towards doing activities that put our lives in alignment with God's law and his will, moving ourselves to speak out in truth in about the injustices of the world, and moving ourselves to physically remove things in our lives that tempt us and draws away from pursuing God with everything we've got.

Who do you run to when you need advice? It may not be a medium or spiritist as mentioned in Isaiah 8, but what about others? We should run to God for all the advice we need, yet others also play an important role in enlightening the advice God gives us.

It is simple and straightforward to categorize people by their choices, but less so by their personal obedience to God. But this becomes a stumbling block that trips us up when we determine faithfulness by righteous pillars.

God working in and through us requires we start with faith, abiding in His peace and grace, being filled with His love, and then sharing it as the Holy Spirit directs.

Our greatest need is hope. But, not just any hope. Rather one that is trustworthy, true, and anchored so firmly we can trust in its holding power.
