How just are you? How merciful? As in how energetic are you about that?



Tricky question.





Following up on the question I
asked last month
...


I asked, How converted are
you? One of the marks of being converted is to be stridently NOT on the Devil's
side any more or ever again.





Jesus' best friend, John says
(1 John 3:8 ) 'The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the Devil's
work.' Micah the old prophet from about 2700 years ago was fond of asking and
answering, 'What does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.'





I find it hard enough to walk
humbly with God which is quiet and private thing, let alone do the hard and
public things. I suppose you do too. But 'too hard' has never been an
acceptable excuse has it?





The Devil's work seems to be
mostly about fostering injustice, destruction of love, and to negate mercy (not
to mention the invention of Facebook). So if we are not on the Devil's side and
support the work of Jesus, it leaves us one daily question: How energetic about
justice and mercy have I been so far today?





These are nasty days


It's a strategic time to ask
how energetic are you abouty justie and mercy





Anyway, to infinity and
beyond.





Live long and prosper.
