Moving Forward With Divine Power

“Behold! My Servant whom I uphold,
My Elect One in whom My soul delights!
I have put My Spirit upon Him;
He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

He will not cry out, nor raise His voice,
Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
A bruised reed He will not break,
And smoking flax He will not quench.

He will bring forth justice for truth.
He will not fail nor be discouraged,
Till He has established justice in the earth;
And the coastlands shall wait for His law.

To open blind eyes,
To bring out prisoners from the prison,
Those who sit in darkness from the prison house.” [1]

The Messiah accomplishes justice. He opens blind eyes and sets prisoners free. His ministry in our lives brings forth breakthroughs that we could never accomplish without Him.

We do not need to perform for people as though Messiah needs our help to bring about the justice. For example, Jesus said, “Do not do your charitable deeds before men... When you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites… to be seen by men… When you fast, do not be like the hypocrites… to appear to men to be fasting…” We do not need to worry about lack of provisions when pursuing God’s kingdom and His righteousness. “Do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” [2]

Our Heavenly Father knows what we need. He provides. Our Lord Jesus Christ urges us to stay focused on God’s kingdom and His righteousness, and to let God take care of the rest. Our part is to trust in His promises and act accordingly.

“Thank You Lord Jesus for Your steady calm approach to justice. You moved forward with divine power, and so do we as we rely on You!”
