March 4 – Sow Justice – Isaiah 10:1-4.
Isaiah is a social reformer as well as a prophet. He spoke against oppression and lack of justice continuously. He begins this chapter. He points out four things that governments must not do. They must not make unjust laws, male oppressive decrees, deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice or oppress the people of God.
They are not to prey upon the widows or the orphans because God is their defender. He reminds them that is a day of reckoning. In that day no riches or supposed power or authority is going to save them. They will become the captive or the fearful. The Lord will execute his justice because his hand is upraised and he will not relent, show mercy, or stop. A sobering thought. We must remember God is not mock whatever a person sows they shall reap.
