Injustice Seen, A Remnant Saved
Injustice Seen, A Remnant Saved
Thursday
“Proclaim to the strongholds in Ashdod and to the strongholds in the land of Egypt, and say, ‘Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see the great tumults within her, and the oppressed in her midst.’ ‘They do not know how to do right,’ declares the LORD, ‘those who store up violence and robbery in their strongholds.’ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: ‘An adversary shall surround the land and bring down your defenses from you, and your strongholds shall be plundered.’ Thus says the LORD: ‘As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Samaria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed.’”
— Amos 3:9-12 (ESV)
— Amos 3:9-12 (ESV)
Israel had become so comfortable with injustice that they no longer recognized it. Their wealth was built on the backs of the oppressed, and they felt no shame. God notices what we learn to overlook. And yet — even here, grace flickers. A shepherd pulls scraps from the lion’s mouth; a remnant survives. God’s justice is real, but His mercy preserves a people. Examine your own life today: is there an injustice or a sin you’ve stopped seeing simply because it has become familiar?
Prayer:
Lord, sharpen my conscience. Show me what I’ve learned to ignore, and thank You that grace reaches even into the lion’s mouth.
Lord, sharpen my conscience. Show me what I’ve learned to ignore, and thank You that grace reaches even into the lion’s mouth.
