Isaiah 11.1-10  Esaïe 11.1-10   Jesaja 11.1-10
Romans 15.4-13  Romains 15.4-13  Romeinen 15.4-13

Justice and peace


In Isaiah we see a picture of a new way of living, where the natural enmities of life are replaced by mind blowing peace and harmony.  Take a moment to ponder those images and dream of change. This is something for us to look forward to. Ultimately Jesus will come again in righteousness to judge the needy with justice and give decisions for the poor of the earth. Some members of Holy Trinity work in organisations which try to bring some of that justice and peace now for the poor of the earth. It would be great to pray for them today and for each of us to grow in trust of the One who came and will come again. That by the power of the Holy Spirit our hope may overflow to touch the lives of others.

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15.13)

Que le Dieu de l’espérance vous comble de toute joie et de sa paix par votre confiance en lui. Ainsi votre cœur débordera d’espérance par la puissance du Saint Esprit. (Romains 15.13)
