We share that God’s love is full of mercy and grace and that forgiveness is wrapped in freedom. We act justly by speaking out for what is true, noble, and right in God’s eyes, all while repenting and seeking forgiveness of our fleshly desires. Our actions must show others that our God is a God of law and order and that He craves justice.
If we really want to take a stand for righteousness and speak out for injustice, we need to be submerged in His Word and etch it in the depth of our hearts ( Proverbs 3:3). It acts justly, loves mercy, and walks humbly ( Micah 6:8). We can tell His way apart from the others because it has His Word written all over it. So, what do we do? We choose to stand up for righteousness by getting in God’s corner! But, with all the misinformation and misleading truths out there, how do we know it is truly His corner? We must know Him – deeply. Currently, our society is easily bending and swaying to the ways of the flesh, which costs the safety of many, especially our innocent children. It is not only happening within the walls of nearly every public building, including our schools, but it is sadly happening within the walls of our congregations too. God’s laws are all but removed in most places or sadly being replaced with personal narratives and motives. However, as believers, there is only one corner to stand in! Sounds easy enough, right? Yet, in saying that, there are so many times I don’t even realize I take a stand for my own way, bend to the way of society, or fall into a misconception of what the church offers, dismissing the whole truth.įriend, we are in strange times, unchartered territory, I would even add. They all hold different worldly viewpoints and various perspectives. Begs to question, where would you stand?Įach corner looks enticing and has its own appeal. Truthfully, we are faced with this choice every single day. Many are choosing a corner to stand in, and the four corners presented are – your way, society’s way, the church’s way, and God’s way. This situation reminds me a lot of what is going on in our world today. I ended up being the only one there! I wanted to move, just to appease the crowd, but my feet (and heart) wouldn’t let me. Feeling totally convicted and a tad bit foolish, I sauntered over to the corner I felt led to. At the end of the discussion, we had to choose a corner of the room based on what we believed about the standardized tests.
BIBLE VERSE TO STUDY TODAY HOW TO
There must have been over a hundred teachers talking about state standards and how to administer the tests.
On one such day, the topic of testing was being addressed. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.” - Micah 6:8Īs a former public school teacher, I attended several professional development days. “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.
