Isaiah chapter 59 verses 14 and 15.

Justice is turned back and righteousness stands far away for truth has stumbled in the public squares and

uprightness cannot enter truth is lacking and he who departs from evil makes himself a pray. The Lord saw it and it displeased him that there was no justice. Wow there is so much in these two

verses about justice, truth, good evil, and the character and perspective of God. As Isaiah 59, 14 and 15 describes days of injustice among God's people. The phrase

justice is turned back. Later at the very end of verse 15 there was no justice it was a time of injustice and

unrighteousness righteousness righteousness stands far away and all of this is grounded in truth being lacking. The phrase

truth has stumbled in the public squares in such a way that uprightness that which is true and right and good cannot enter.

Truth is lacking, and then listen to this phrase he who departs from evil. In other

words he who does good makes himself a prey. He does good, he who speaks truth becomes a pray. And the Lord sees all of this. He sees injustice.

Injustice is not unknown to God, unseen by God.

He sees it and it displeases him because he is a perfectly just God and he calls his people to do justice. And so I want to lead us to pray based on these two verses in light of

injustice around the world, around wherever we live and at the same time to pray that God would help us as

his people who know him to do justice of all people in the world.

We should be the most just people working the hardest for justice because we know the just God over the world and he has called us to do justice, to love mercy as we walk humbly with

him. That's straight from his word to his people in the book of Amos and it's reiterated all over the life of

Jesus and as we read through the New Testament to do that which is right and good for all people according to God's word, according to his truth.

So God we pray in a world of injustice all around us in a world of evil and oppression and unrighteousness in our countries, different countries where we live as we're

praying right now. We see injustice all around us in other countries in the world

we see injustice, unrighteousness, all around the world.

And we pray right now for your justice to come for your justice to reign God we long for a world that is just and right and we praise you for the promise you've given us that one day your justice will

reign perfectly in a new heaven a new earth where everything will be right and nothing evil, wrong,
