God Calls For Justice: Justice Enacted
Praise for God's Justice
1 Timothy 6:11-16
The Message
Running Hard
11-12But you, Timothy, man of God: Run for your life from all this. Pursue a righteous life—a life of wonder, faith, love, steadiness, courtesy. Run hard and fast in the faith. Seize the eternal life, the life you were called to, the life you so fervently embraced in the presence of so many witnesses. 13-16I'm charging you before the life-giving God and before Christ, who took his stand before Pontius Pilate and didn't give an inch: Keep this command to the letter, and don't slack off. Our Master, Jesus Christ, is on his way. He'll show up right on time, his arrival guaranteed by the Blessed and Undisputed Ruler, High King, High God. He's the only one death can't touch, his light so bright no one can get close. He's never been seen by human eyes—human eyes can't take him in! Honor to him, and eternal rule! Oh, yes.For Reflection
Run
from the tyranny and corruption of our time. Pursue a righteous life.
What is a righteous life? It is one filled with wonder, faith, love,
steadiness and courtesy. It is a life lived in hospitality. Where do
you find this life? Look into the life of Christ. How do I gain the
wisdom to live such a life? Look into the scriptures, pray and listen
for the word of God. Where do I get the courage to live such a life?
Sustain a strong faith in God and trust in His promise.
Pray
that
you will find a life full of wonder, faith, love, steadiness and
courtesy. Pray for the wisdom and courage to live a righteous life. Dream of and hope for righteousness.
