Psalm 103:6 The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
I'm sure there would be some who would read this verse and say, "Yeah, right. That's not what I see." We are quite short sighted as a whole. We do exactly what the Pharisees did when Jesus came. They expected him to overthrow the Roman government and fix everything on earth. Unfortunately, they completely misunderstood what Jesus came to do. He came to fulfill the law and be a new covenant. Jesus was focused on our eternal redemption, not our temporal earthly circumstances. Our challenge then is to accept the eternal work he did for us and surrender our temporal life to him. We need Kingdom eyes that focus on Jesus, in whom the power to redeem the world was manifested in His resurrection and is now available to us through the Holy Spirit. The Lord has done the work for each of us. May we have eyes to see and minds to comprehend.
