Providentially, today we are asked to meditate on:
learn to do good;seek justice,correct oppression;bring justice to the fatherless,plead the widow's cause.
The verse leading up to it is:
Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean;remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes;cease to do evil,
Jesus used this as a lesson for those who think they are already "clean".
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and the plate, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence. You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and the plate, that the outside also may be clean.
Our country is crying out for justice.
Take this opportunity to examine yourself. Clean out whatever you find, so that we will be known in this community as having generous hearts that love justice.
