With so much injustice in the world, what does God do about it?

 

In Psalm 10 we are given a blueprint for lament – taking our cries for justice to God. The Psalm shows us what the wicked unjust are like under the surface, behaving as if there is no God.

 

However the Psalm also gives us hope. It calls upon the justice of God. God is near to the downtrodden, the oppressed and the abused. He promises to come in full fury against all oppression and evil.

 

Yet in the gospel, we are able to confront an uncomfortable truth – we have all been unjust towards other people in some shape or form. Only through the gospel of Jesus are we able to confess our own injustice as well as receive healing for injustice we have suffered at the hands of others.
