Day 42
Justice
will rule in the wilderness and righteousness in the fertile field. And this righteousness
will bring peace. Isaiah
32:16-17 (NLT)
QUIETNESS AND TRUST
When
civil rights leader Martin Luther King was accused of ‘disturbing the peace’ by
supporting Rosa Parks and the Montgomery Bus Boycott in 1955, he responded,
‘True peace is not merely the absence of tension: it is the presence of
justice.’ Later, he added, ‘Without justice, there can be no peace.’ His words
find echoes in the wisdom of Isaiah. For society to flourish and be fruitful,
peace needs to be built on a foundation of justice and righteousness. Injustice
is often a root cause of conflict, both in local communities and between
nations. Only by listening to the experiences of the marginalised, and
addressing injustices such as discrimination and poverty, will we be able to
build a truly peaceful world.
PRAYER
We ask
for the honest peace of struggles acknowledged, the demanding peace of
forgiveness, the longed-for peace of justice established. Lord, grant us peace.
