“Those who plant seeds of injustice will harvest disaster, and their reign of terror will end.” Proverbs 22:8 NLT

These words leaped off the page at me early this morning and I couldn’t help but think of all the injustices that I’ve heard about in history books of times past and have seen even till this day.

Then I thought about the word, “Those”.  It’s a word that is inclusive of everyone and anybody.  “Those”, could describe the persons that terrorized the Indians of the Oregon Trail.  Or those who terrorized my ancestors for years with in the American slave trade.  It could describe how the Rich lorded over the poor and increasingly pushed them lower and lower with unfair laws and regulations, or those who in business cheated persons out of their wealth in order to gain more for their selfish gain.

I could go on and on about the injustices of the Jim Crow Laws, discrimination, wether it be racial or sexual, or the new one they’re using, age.  But it is easy to point the finger at those that hs done us harm, but what seeds of injustice have we sown in the lives of others?  Who did you cheat?  Who did you discriminate against?  Who have you harmed, even if it was just with words.

The seeds that we have sown, we will surely reap. Galatians 6, and this Proverb 22:8 says we will “harvest”, or reap disaster.  We shall reap a horrible end, if we sow the seeds of injustice.

So it is pleasing to know that the reign of terror will end, if you’re the victim, but if you’re the one who has sown these seeds, then be on guard, your end shall come.  We may not know the day or the hour, but the Proverb says it will end.

Has America sown too many seeds of injustice as a country to escape it?

Have the wicked investors like Madoff sown too many seeds of injustice to escape it?

Have you sown any seeds to injustice?

Be wise.
