Recently I heard a fleeting radio reference to "reparative economics" (a tape of an interview with Barach Obama in Chicago in 1991). I thought about that concept along with the obvious "how to" questions. Make reparations for injustices past...slavery...child labor...women...racial and other prejudice? Injustice today -- in my time -- is another matter, about which I may do something practical now, and the wisdom I choose to live by is ancient:
"He has told you, O man, what is good;
And what does the LORD require of you
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?"
Micah 6:8
But to do justice, to love kindness,
And to walk humbly with your God?"
Micah 6:8
Lord Jesus, I would do justly, love mercy, and live in humility with you today. Amen
