Isaiah 1:17 say’s “to seek justice, correct oppression; bring justice to the fatherless, plead the widow’s cause.” Justice matters to God, and because of this I believe we are in a kairos moment for the work of justice. Global dynamics are shifting fast and with these changes have come significant challenges. Yet, at the same time God has been awakening the hearts of believers in our time to the cause of justice and compassion in a way we have never seen before. He is filling hearts with love and providing new avenues and resources for us to love God and love our neighbor. I hope and pray that this work will continue in 2009, and I pray that God would move in new and increasing ways. As we enter this New Year, the challenges set before us are great, yet God is with us. Let us be mindful, prayerful and diligent in seeking out ways in which we can do the work of the kingdom in our spheres of influence, each day. We should also be in constant prayer for our new president and his administration, with our new president there is much to rejoice in and much to be concerned with. Let us pray that this administration would heed God’s call to “do justice”, and may we hold the new administration accountable for its actions and responsibilities.
