God's justice isn't about getting what we deserve, whether reward or punishment.

Instead, it is all about everyone getting what they need to survive and thrive in the world God created for all of us to live in.

Doing justice isn't someone else's job.  It's mine.

If my life is a field, then justice lives in the level places. 

Looking out over that field, from where I'm standing, if I see people above me or below me,  there's some re-ordering I can work for related to building justice in my own life.

How can I level the field?

"A voice cries out: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’" -- Isaiah 40:3-5

God, am I the voice crying out, or the one preparing the way, or both?  Help me to be ready for what lies ahead.
