Just believe
Scripture makes a point of linking justice and faith. Isaiah spoke of the messiah to come for whom “justice shall be the band around his waist, and faithfulness a belt upon his hips.” Keeping faith and acting justly are two sides of the same coin because fidelity to God’s commandments and laws—which, as Jesus said, boils down to loving God and others with one’s whole self—will create a world of justice. It starts with your commitment to love.

TODAY’S READINGS: Isaiah 26:1-6; Matthew 7:21, 24-27 (178)
“Open up the gates to let in a nation that is just, one that keeps faith.”
