Proverbs!

Whoever sows injustice will reap calamity, 

and the rod of his fury will fail.

Proverbs 22:8 ESV

This is one of those "just make-it-happen-now-God" proverbs.

We hate injustice.

Both for ourselves, and others.

But those who sow injustice so often seem to flourish. 

But this proverb tells us that the things that they have used to wield injustice will fail, come to an end. 

This word "rod" carries a wide range of meaning including tribe. Even the people someone uses to bring injustice will come to an end.

This proverb also prompts me to ask "where am I in this?"

Are there times, moments when it's been me that has been unjust, used power to take or hurt or use someone?

What about my use of the world's resources?

Maybe my dangerous prayer is that God would reveal in me where I am sowing injustice.

And to help me not to be immune to injustice, to turn a "blind eye" in the areas where I have influence. 

What about you?
