Today’s Meditation Verse:
Matthew 13:30
Allow both to grow together until the harvest; and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather up the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them up; but gather the wheat into my barn.
Justice is something we all want and seek. But many times we are left wondering why doesn’t God do something sooner? Why does He wait to deal with those who are in the enemy’s camp? Why does He allow them to kill, steal, and destroy? Because there is a divine appointed time to administer justice.
We may not understand, we may not see why, but this is yet another area to just trust in God.
In this parable, when the wheat was planted, and the tares were sown, they grew together side by side. If a tare were to be pulled out, the roots of the tare would also uproot the wheat. So to do what is ultimately best for the wheat, the tares MUST be left until the end of the harvest when it is okay for the wheat to also be uprooted.
So, when we see injustice and wrongdoing, let us trust and pray and patiently wait. There will come a time for the sons of God to be revealed, and at that time, justice will also be done.

Each Monday I am going to be having ‘Monday Meditations’. I hope to bring to you each Monday a verse to mediate on for the week. This is not for memorization, but to think about and to dwell on. The word meditate, in the bible, means to mutter. So this week as you go about your life, think about and mutter to yourself the verse for the week and think about how it applies to your life. Meditating on a verse will bind it to your spirit and it will become part of you! The more of the Word you meditate on, the more it will transform you into the image of Christ!
