Indignation….

Indignation meaning:

anger about a situation which we think is wrong or unfair;

a righteous anger aroused by something unjust, unworthy or mean; or

the feeling of shock and anger which you have when you think that something is unjust or unfair.

Indignation….when did I last feel it. I wonder if I am becoming de-sensitised to the chronic injustice and unfairness that people suffer in this world because of overload.

There is a difference between true injustice and perceived injustice and I need Godly wisdom to discern.

We live in a society where everyone feels entitled. They have rights and are indignant when those rights are not protected.

There is a lot of protesting, shouting, noise and anger in our society but is the “cause” a call and protest for true justice for those who are suffering because they are being treated wrongly and unfairly or is it coming from a sense of entitlement and selfishness. They have it and I want it..it’s not fair.

I pray that I will not be blind to the true injustices in this world and will be stirred to pray and act righteously as God’s Spirit leads. I pray I will not become de-sensitised to injustice but will act justly and fairly and promote justice.

There are many injustices, evil and wicked acts in this world. God knows about each one. God is not ignoring them and we have confidence through faith that there is a truly righteous judge in Jesus.

These verses from Jeremiah stirred my heart.

“The Lord has opened His armory,And has brought out the weapons of His indignation” Jeremiah 50.25

The Lord feels indignation ..righteous indignation about injustice and I am so grateful that He does.
