Day 11: A Vision of Justice and Peace
Scripture: Micah 4:1-4
In the last days
the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established
as the highest of the mountains;
it will be exalted above the hills,
and peoples will stream to it.
Many nations will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the temple of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will judge between many peoples
and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore.
Everyone will sit under their own vine
and under their own fig tree,
and no one will make them afraid,
for the Lord Almighty has spoken.
Reflection:
God’s ultimate vision of justice is one of peace and flourishing for all nations. This passage points to a future where God’s rule restores harmony and equity. Justice is not just about confronting wrongs but building a world where everyone thrives.
Question:
How does this vision of justice inspire your actions today?
