Honey Drop 39: Help for the needy is justice

eejoseph,

“Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.” — Isaiah 1:17

The scene

Justice is not a concept.  A courtroom is supposed to be a place where sweetness is in store: a hive.

It is a practice.  

A rhythm of righteousness that moves toward the vulnerable.  

A mercy that takes sides.

The comfort – the tension

The haves — the have-nots

God is not impressed by offerings without obedience. 
He does not delight in songs that ignore suffering. 
He calls His people to learn— 
not just to believe, 

The drop

Justice is not a trend. 
It is the heartbeat of God.
To seek justice is to walk in rhythm with Him.  To defend the orphan is to echo His name.   To plead for the widow is to remember His mercy.

The hive hums with holy work. 
And the honey flows where the hurting are.
