JUSTICE ON TIME
In
his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell in security. This is
the name they give him: “The Lord our justice.” – Jeremiah 23:6
It
was as if a brick dropped on Nick’s head when he was asked to fire
someone whom he did not even evaluate. He had been hired only a month
ago. The thought of breaking the bad news tormented him. Such action
needed an explanation and he couldn’t even justify anything written on
the evaluation paper.
With
the most earnest intentions, Nick cried out to God. Not only that he be
delivered but that the employee be delivered as well. Though he was new
to the company, he saw the hard work of the employee and prayed that he
be given a second chance. Nick needed a miracle.
On
the day he was supposed to talk to the employee, he intended to make a
final appeal to his boss to reconsider the decision. But to Nick’s
surprise, before he even brought up the matter, he received notice from
his boss that had a change of heart. He was willing to give the employee
a second chance.
The
Lord is just and His miracles are never late. As long as your moral
compass is attuned to the Lord’s heart, you need not be afraid to ask
for anything. His justice will always prevail. GeorgeTolentino Gabriel (george.svp@gmail.com)
REFLECTION:
What do you do when you see injustice?
Lord, give me the courage to stand up for those who are unjustly treated.
Blessed Anthony Grassi, pray for us.
