Your justice

Heavenly Father, we thank you that you are the just judge and that you will not let terrible things go unpunished. Thank you that, though we may see evil and wickedness poured out seemingly without retribution, we can trust in you and know that this is not the final word. Lord we long for you to make all things right. But we tremble before your perfect, holy justice also, as we know we too, come under your condemnation. Lord we have ignored your continuous grace to us and set ourselves up as gods. We are right to be cut off from you. But thank you that your justice is already poured out in full on the Lord Jesus; that the final word has been said for us. We rejoice that we have died to sin, crucified with him, and that there is now no condemnation for us who are in Christ Jesus.

Amen
