From my commentary in Romans today:
The world is not in the hands of blind chance, or of a capricious God who will play favorites and leave everyone feeling the way people do after an unsatisfactory court hearing. True justice - the sort that people long for, plead for, thirst for around the world to this day - true justice will be done, and will be seen and known to be done. God will judge all human secrets through the Messiah, Jesus. That is good news for a world in which true justice is still hard to find.

My wife and I were just talking about how hard it is to see injustice and pray for your enemies.
Especially when you have some “discernment” and God tells you things so that you can pray - not so you can be the “justice-bringer” in the form of destructive words or behavior.
“Vengeance is MINE, says the Lord, I will repay!”

It is so good to remember. Especially as you become more aware of the injustice all over the world.
