Though we never personally went through a hurricane, one struck our home in the Caribbean while we were in the States. It picked up our heavy gas grill, flipped it over the railing on our veranda, and tossed it down the mountainside. A missions team was on campus at the time and diligently rescued the grill that had torn into many, many pieces and painstakingly put it back together so we could use it one more year. Hurricanes damage, destroy and defile. Powerful winds of injustice swirl our lives into a frenzy of unanswered questions. Innocence is always baffled by injustice for it has only known integrity and cannot fathom anyone serving anything less than truth. Injustice tears one into many, many pieces.
~~
To you injustice may involve your children's struggle with what is fair, unfair treatment on the job, a court decision against what you hoped for, that bill you had to pay for which you never received services or merchandise, or the politics that cost you that job and the evil men who welded that political power.
~~
On a national level, injustice may involve government corruption, widespread drug marketing, high rate of murder, economic crisis, or exploitation of young girls, all of which we have experienced firsthand in our travels.
~~
When we are mistreated,when we look for integrity and are granted injustice, when we expect exoneration and are given censorship, when we look to live in honor and others seek to shame us . . . then we must call on the Lord Who not only knows the truth, but is, in very essence, Truth Himself.
~~
This storm dovetails perfectly with the storm we will talk about tomorrow. So, until tomorrow, Goodnight.
