Old Testament Verse

Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation may spring up, and let it cause righteousness to sprout up also; I the Lord have created it.
Isaiah 45:8

New Testament Verse

In accordance with his promise, we wait for new heavens and a new earth, where righteousness is at home.
2 Peter 3:13

Prayer

Just and holy God, your promise to bring forth righteousness fills me with hope. I easily despair at the many injustices in our world. Poor, abused, and displaced people are often scorned. Bless those who dedicate themselves to righting the wrongs of society. Direct me to the way I can be part of your kingdom building. Amen.
