PRAYING FOR JUSTICE IN OUR WORLD

PRAYING FOR JUSTICE IN OUR WORLD


A lot of things
GO WRONG in this world=
A lot of things
Go wrong
In our PERSONAL LIVES


It seems as though
Life is NOT FAIR=
Praying that we RECEIVE JUSTICE


If not in this world
At least=from GOD=praying
That we receive MERCY
If not from others
At least from God


“O God= with your judgment
Endow the king


And with your JUSTICE
The king's son” Psalm 72:1


MOST of the 150 psalms
Are written by David=
But this one psalm 72
Is written by Solomon


This psalm is a religious
Prayer for the IMPROVEMENT
Of government for the country


God knows=our country
Needs that=as well as
DOES every other country


Wouldn't it be great
If our modern day leaders
EXPRESSED CONVICTIONS and
Objectives like Solomon?


Before Solomon took over
His reign=he renounced his desire
For glory=fame= and riches


He prayed only FOR WISDOM
And to rule honestly
And faithfully


PRAYING for our leaders=
Praying for JUSTICE
In this world


“Arise Lord
In your anger


Rise up
Against the rage
Of my enemies


Awake my God
DECREE JUSTICE” Psalm 7:6


“It is not good
To be partial
To the wicked


And so deprive
The innocent of JUSTICE” Proverbs 18:5


“........but with righteousness
He will judge the needy


WITH JUSTICE
He will give decisions
For the poor
Of the earth” Isaiah 11:4


I wish all kings-queens-
Princes-and princesses


Would publicly profess
And produce qualities
Of good judgment
And justice
Like is in psalm 72


“For he has set
A day
When he will judge
The world


WITH JUSTICE
By the man
He has appointed


He has given proof
Of this=to everyone


By raising him
From the dead” Acts 17:31


And so today
We PRAY for our NATION
And ALL the nations
Of the world


To bring goodness
To the world
And FOR GOODNESS
In all of our hearts


In the names of Jesus=and our FATHER=and OUR EVER JUST GOD
