Last week we explored how Micah's mandate to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly is to be done in relationship with our God. We took comfort in knowing we are not alone and recognizing He is with us giving us the strength to do His will. This week at CLA-LA, we reflect upon His faithfulness, which enables us to live lives of justice.
“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord forever;
with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever;
Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”
Psalm 89:1-2
with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up forever;
Your faithfulness You shall establish in the very heavens.”
Psalm 89:1-2
The work of justice is not easy. The burdens our clients carry are heavy and their circumstances often disheartening. We have prayed with clients who faced innumerable odds and saw victory. We have also counseled and prayed with clients who failed to receive their desired outcome.
It is easy to exuberantly praise the Lord when we are experiencing great victories in our lives. It becomes a bit more difficult to praise Him when facing defeat.
Yet whether facing triumph or loss, we have purposed in our hearts to continue praising God with our clients because He is faithful, regardless of the circumstances. And in those moments when all seems lost, He gives us the strength to sing.
At CLA-LA we are empowered to serve because of His faithfulness.
