How To Deal With Injustice. Part [6] 02/09/2026 (Morning thought)

Acts 5:41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.

Even though at this time, people are riled up, angry, and severely ticked off, the Christian must be careful to stay the course with Christ, throughout all of the vicissitudes of life, meaning that we should not turn to the right hand or the left, from following a plain thus saith The Lord. One of the facts about Christianity that we will have to be reconciled to is that the ways in which we deal with situations are, for the most part, different from how the natural man deals with the same issues.

There is a natural way which appeals to our human nature, and then there is the royal way which God outlines in the Bible, which most often goes against our natural grain. The Christian therefore must at all times choose the royal way, for that’s what it means to be a follower of Jesus. Riots and protests are the ways in which the natural man usually responds to injustice and cruelty, as we have seen recently in Iran.

But in the Scriptures, we are given the high road, a royal way for us to follow, when faced with similar situations. As the heat of the furnace is ratcheted up several notches there will be very strong temptations which will be coming your way, to adopt ways and means that are not endorsed, or commanded by God. In all of the back and forth going on currently, the Christian must never adopt principles and methods, ways and means that are hall marks of the kingdom of darkness, for doing so will put us in the very same camp with the prince of darkness.

Ephesians 6: 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

How To Deal With Injustice. Part [5] 02/09/2026 (Evening thought)

Matthew 26:53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

In other words, in the Christian dispensation, if any issues of injustice were to arise, and if any volatile situation had potential for spinning out of control, the Christian must leave the resolution of matters in God’s hands, and if God so chooses, He still has 12 or more legions of angels that He can send. Matthew 10: 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, you shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man be come…. And now, here is the same Peter, after the cross. He has learned from Christ that retaliation for injustice is not the royal way, he has learned from Jesus that the Christian must not fight fire with fire. Thus, when he again finds himself in a volatile and violent situation, he does a 180 degree in his reactions.

Peter is not locked and loaded as before, for he has turned in his weapons to the relevant authorities, and instead of uttering curses, Peter rejoices to be a partaker in the sufferings of Christ. Apparently, he is a brand-new Peter, and when compared to his prior behaviors and reactions, it is like night and day…. Acts 5: 27 And when they had brought them, they set them before the council: and the high priest asked them,

Acts 5:28 Saying, did not we straitly command you that you should not teach in this name? and, behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this man's blood upon us.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
