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. Blessed are all those who are careful to do this. -Isaiah 56:1(NLT)
BLESSED ARE THE JUST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you treat others equally as you would yourself?
Are you compassionate to the oppressed and give help?
Blessed are the just and fair, they are doing what’s right
They are following what God has required in their life.
Do what is right and good, for God will come to rescue
He wants you to have your minds and heart renewed
If you treat others fairly and with no favoritisms
You are imitating Jesus in all his conduct and mannerisms.
________________________________________
If only everyone would treat each other fairly, there would probably be more peace on earth. One of the reasons why people revolt is because of injustice. Because, God designed us in his own image, we are actually made out of love. When we are not treated right, our spirits sense it inside. We have the option to revolt and react but we can also respond lovingly by gently saying our right to be treated fairly. It is exercising boundary when we do this. It also helps those who are treating others unreasonably to think twice. The Lord blesses those who are just and fair to all.
PRAYER
Lord, remind me to treat others lovingly and justly always.
REFLECTION
How do you think fair treatment eliminates conflicts and troubles in life?

He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. -Psalm 103:12 (NLT)
AS FAR AS THE EAST IS FROM THE WEST
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you done something wrong in your life?
Don’t live in guilt, allow God to bring you into his light
If you confess your sin, ask forgiveness and repent
He will forgive you then you’ll never again be bent.
He has removed your sins as far as east is from the west
When God forgave you, you will be renewed and be blessed
Though your past sins are as black as night
He can change it to make you as pure as white.

According to Wikipedia, Eratosthenes of Cyrene is best known for being the first person to calculate the circumference of the Earth, which he did by applying a measuring system using stadia, which was a standard unit of measure during that time period. His calculation was remarkably accurate. Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth without leaving Egypt. Using a gnomon, he measured the Sun’s angle of elevation at noon on the solstice in Alexandria, and found it to be 1/50th of a circle circumference. Great genius of a man is he. The bible says that God removes our sins as far from us as the east is from the west. Based on Eratosthenes calculation, you now have a concept how much God forgives.
PRAYER
Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace.
REFLECTION
How far have you departed from your past sins? What brought you that far?
