Reflecting on Justice - Commentary

When we read Romans 8:28, we encounter a profound truth that resonates deeply with our human experience: "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." This verse invites us to reflect on justice—a divine justice that transcends our understanding and circumstances.

Picture a potter skillfully shaping clay. At times, the clay may feel the pressure of the potter’s hands, but it is in that very pressure that it begins to take form. Much like the potter, God is actively working in our lives, often through our struggles, to mold us into vessels of purpose and strength. Each hardship is not just a random event; they are opportunities for spiritual growth, invitations to trust God’s plan even when the path is unclear.

In moments of despair, when life feels unjust, we can lean into the promise that God is weaving our stories together for good. Justice is not merely a future hope; it is a present reassurance that God’s hand is at work. We may not see the full picture, but we can believe in the beauty of the tapestry He is creating.

Let this truth encourage us to persevere. As we navigate our individual journeys, let’s hold fast to our purpose in Christ, trusting that every situation is under His sovereign control. In our pursuit of justice—both in our lives and in the world—we are not alone; our God is with us, turning our trials into testimonies of hope.
