Justice

Life often feels unfair. Explore where you want to see a difference.

CHANGE

Reflect on the various images.

What injustice would you like to see change?

And in our personal life.

You insult your Maker when you exploit the powerless; when you’re kind to the poor, you honour God.

Proverbs, Chapter 14 Verse 31

Pause and pray to God for that change And ask God to Shine His Light in the Darkness

READ

Read the verses from the Bible about how God sees injustice and poverty.

For God listens to the poor, He doesn’t walk out on the wretched

For the Lord your God is the God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great God, the mighty and awesome God, who shows no partiality and cannot be bribed. He ensures that orphans and widows receive justice. He shows love to the foreigners living among you and gives them food and clothing. So you, too, must show love.

Deuteronomy Chapter 10 verses 17-19 (New Living Translation version)

Treat one another justly. Love your neighbours. Be compassionate with each other. Don’t take advantage of widows, orphans, visitors, and the poor. Don’t plot and scheme against one another.

Don’t walk on the poor just because they’re poor, and don’t use your position to crush the weak, because god will come to their defence.
