JUSTICE, JUSTICE, JUSTICE, MY GOD WHEN WILL THERE BE JUSTICE FOR ALL?
My friends, Hands Up, I Can’t Breathe, Hands Up, I Can’t Breathe, Hands Up, I Can’t Breathe, Hands Up, I Can’t Breathe, My Father tells a story about His uncle who He was named after, this is at a time when all of his family lived in southern Louisiana.
during this time, Blacks and Whites lived and worked together His uncle worked in partnership with his white neighbor, however differences arose between the two partners and the white man told uncle lee he was going to kill him. The disagreement seemed to have been resolved.
One day however, without warning, the white man went to uncle Lee’s barnyard with his gun and killed uncle Lee then he went to the Paschal family and announced “I killed old Lee. Yawl folks go get him and bury him!” After the burial the Paschal’s and all the relatives moved to Oklahoma, never to return.
My God when will there be justice for the black man? Centuries are passing and there has been no changes in regards to
some whites not all, and their utter disregard for the civil rights of anyone who is non white My God when will there be justice?
I am sure we all have our own unique experiences we can tell about race relations, but like David we must go into the sanctuary of God; and seek our answers. My friends, there has been injustice in America since 1619 when Blacks were dragged from their homes in Africa and brought to America, so where do we get answers?
My friends, we can get any question answered in the sanctuary of God where He abides. We have health and family issues, we need to go into the sanctuary, sin abounds in our life, and it is now out of control so we go into the sanctuary, I need a car, a refrigerator, groceries or a job, so we go into the sanctuary.
But it also must be all about Christ, we don’rt go into the sanctuary for selfish reasons, it must be what is His will for our life and How, what I am asking for, will keep my focus on Christ, and not on self. It is a travesty how a black man and woman are still looked upon as 3/5th of a person, so we protest and march, all I agree with, by any legal means necessary.
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) states when he speaks of Eric Garner who was killed because of a policeman placing him into an illegal choke hold “If he had not had asthma and a heart condition and was so obese, almost definitely he would not have died for this,” King said of Garner.
“The police had no reason to know he was in serious condition.” On Garner repeating “I can’t breathe,” King said, “the fact of the matter is, if you can’t breathe, you can’t talk.” He even suggested that Garner may have been faking those symptoms so the police would go easier on him.” This statement from a man who obviously never goes into the sanctuary of God.
My friends, iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that endures unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt.24:12-14 This is what Christ is telling us will happen right before He comes to get His faithful. So if we believe in God’s word, He will be here very soon.
So today, we must literally live in God’s sanctuary as we ask Christ and His spirit , what do I do today, where do I go, how do I react to this situation, or circumstances and who do I witness to today.
Our life must be centered in the sanctuary, in the presence of God where He is advocating and mediating on our behalf. We look for justice while our hands are up, Pointing towards heaven as we breathe in God’s presence.
Zechariah 7:9-10 (ESV) tells us “Thus says the Lord of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.”
But one day soon my friends, God will [render justice to everyone] for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.
