Justice League

The Justice League, also called the Justice League of America, is a superhero team that appears in comic books. The team includes Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Black Canary, Aquaman and others. Their main purpose is to provide justice for those who have been mistreated, and cannot well represent themselves.

The Justice League, of course, is fictional. But even in real life, we operate under the same philosophy. Many people spend money on high priced lawyers to make sure they are fairly and justly treated when going to trial. Others rely on family or friends to "have their back" and make sure they are never mistreated, or are on the losing side of a battle. We rely on government, law enforcement, and different forms of leadership to be the voice for those who don't always feel like they have one. We all believe that at some point either our money, education, titles, jobs, family, associations, etc. will justify us in some capacity.

Romans 8:30 (NIV) And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.

However, God has already justified us. Is is not our responsibility to make sure that "justice is served" in the way that we see fit. If a life situation has treated you in a way that you feel to be unfair, know that God has already made a way for justice in your life. Don't waste time waiting for someone to ask for your forgiveness, or make things right with you. Don't concentrate on how things look to the natural eye. God is the great justifier! Through him you have already received your justice. You don't have to prove that to anyone. The bible says that God is the King of Glory. That surpasses the law of the land. Any judge, any law, any decree; every situation comes under his name.

Isaiah 30:18 (NIV) Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him.

Romans 10:10 (NIV) For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.

JUSTICE IS SERVED
