Show Me Your Justice

Lord, I know your love, but show me Your justice. I know the day will come when probation is done, and everyone will see their eternal destiny justice meted out in judgment reality... I know, I know that day will come But...what about now, Lord? What about now? What about the mothers who mourn for their children war has torn from their breast What about now, Lord? What about now? What about the young ones who wail along the bomb strewn trail of a orphaned future What about now, Lord? What about now? What about the homeless who sigh while their politicians lie about shelter and supplies, and no know wonders why What about now, Lord? What about now? What about the genocide's dead, and all the senseless bloodshed? What about the survivors, unfed reduced to begging for bread living lives laced with dread their heartaches left unsaid Lord, I know of your love, but show me your justice before my faith fails, and every doubt assails before this evil prevails... Step....step into the fray Please...do not delay Show, show Your justice... TODAY! Eileen Manassian

Our God is big enough to hold our questioning of Him. Still He is God and His ways defy our limited understanding. It’s hard to trust in the face of such devastation and still we must. Blessings and hugs.

Dear Eileen, It was if I was reading the cries of David from the Psalms and the question is powerful "Why". I felt like I was reading a devotional crying out to the Lord. - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Beautiful poem, and sentiments, the sadness I feel on the topic is like a tsunami.

Asaph had some of the same feelings thousands of years ago and expressed them in Psalm 73. In the grand finale he learned an important lesson - patience. There will be a reckoning. The innocent will live again. Patience and faith
