Be Still: Daily Devotional

June 18th, 2025

Today is June 18.

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you.    
 
Take a moment and quiet yourself. Take a deep breath. Welcome God’s presence. And say, “Come Holy Spirit.”    
   
Today’s reading is from the book of Jeremiah, chapter 21.  
 
“Moreover, say to the royal house of Judah, ‘Hear the word of the LORD. This is what the LORD says to you, house of David:   
         “ ‘Administer justice every morning;  
         rescue from the hand of the oppressor  
         the one who has been robbed,  
         or my wrath will break out and burn like fire...”  
           

It’s always so interesting to me to hear God’s passion for justice, for rescue, and for restitution. And on the other hand, to hear about the wrath associated with injustice and oppression. The very frame of justice and mercy and fairness and goodness comes from the character of God Himself. God is offended when His character isn’t expressed in this world. And not just offended, but God’s wrath burns toward injustice. This is why, as Christians, we are called to be kingdom people. Our work is to partner with God as He ushers in the coming kingdom... and to resist the ways of the world like injustice and oppression. Talk to the Lord about His heart for true justice, and take a moment to allow Him to speak to you. 
   
Listen to the text again and consider what it is instructing you to do when it tells us to ‘administer justice every morning’. What space are you in that you might be able to ‘administer justice’? It’s not just judges that do this. Is there any space in your life where you have authority to administer justice towards the vulnerable or oppressed?  
   
Perhaps you feel like you’ve got no way to be an ‘administer of justice’ in your life. Perhaps you do: you're an employer, you manage a team, you work in areas of social policy, your work in housing. As we end our time of prayer, ask God to speak to you about what it is for you to ‘administer justice’ in your normal day-to-day life and work.
