Why, Oh Why?

Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong learn to do right. Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless plead the cause of the widow. Come now, let us reason together says the Lord. Isaiah 1:16b-18a NIV

Not sure why I anxiously awaited the news from the jury last night. I guess I was curious to find out what they determined after hearing and reading the evidence. That's how our judicial system works; a jury of peers hears what they need to and with their best judgement come up with an answer.

Maybe it's not the answer people want to hear, but the jury were the ones who had to make the call. They were picked for the job because they were determined to make the best non-biased decision. So why is it people have to cause a scene just because they didn't like the answer.

We all receive answers we don't like from time to time, but have to deal with it. We might be upset for awhile, but eventually we accept it and move on. Most of us don't set fires or steal things because we didn't get the answer we wanted.

There has to be a better way.

We need to do what's right not wrong. Stand up for what you believe in, but do it in a way that matters. Reason with each other. Seek God and find out how He want you to respond and then get ready for a mountain to move.
