Have you ever felt like justice is taking its sweet time to show up? You’re not alone. We all face moments when we wonder if the wrongs in our lives will ever be made right. But what if I told you that God’s justice isn’t delayed, it’s on the way, and it’s closer than you think?
Isaiah 51:5 is a verse that speaks directly to this feeling. It says, “My righteousness draws near speedily, my salvation is on the way, and my arm will bring justice to the nations. The islands will look to me and wait in hope for my arm.” This verse is like a bright light at the end of a tunnel, reminding us that God’s righteousness and salvation are speeding toward us, even when we can’t see them.
What does this mean for us today? First, it’s a reminder that God’s timing is perfect. We may not always understand why things take longer than we’d like, but we can trust that God’s justice is never late. It’s coming, and it’s coming fast.
Second, this verse encourages us to hold on to hope, even when we’re in a place of waiting. The “islands” in the verse represent far-off places, meaning that no matter how distant or isolated we feel, God’s justice and salvation are for us, too.
So, the next time you feel like justice is out of reach, remember that God’s righteousness is just around the corner. His salvation is on the way, and His powerful arm is ready to set things right. Keep hoping, keep trusting, and keep your eyes on the horizon, God’s justice is closer than you think. Let this be your reminder today: God’s justice is coming, and it’s coming for you.
