Just before the Day of the Lord’s Judgment, the prophet predicted times when “There are those who turn justice into bitterness and cast righteousness to the ground. There are those who hate the one who upholds justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth.”With other descriptions, it seems like those times are now. 

He encourages us to “Seek good, not evil, that you may live. Then the Lord God Almighty will be with you.”

Although the times are evil, we maintain His cause in our lives, our jobs, our families. God is greater!

PRAYER: Father, we fear You and dread Your day of judgement. We will seek to do right and shun evil. We trust our lives to You in these days.
