Scripture:

Isaiah 56:1 “This is what the Lord says:  Be just and fair to all.  Do what is right and good, for I am coming soon to rescue you and to display my righteousness among you.”

Observation:

Perspective is such a valuable tool in our moral and spiritual development.  When we are able to evaluate a situation against God’s context, criteria, and character, it makes room for love, for forgiveness, and for peace.  So when we consider that he is “coming soon to rescue” us, it makes it easy to “temporarily” humble and sacrifice oneself for the sake of justice, righteousness, and goodness.

Prayer:

Lord, thank you for offering us your perspective, please help me be mindful of your context, your criteria, and your character when I assess and respond to situations.
