From: Ira Kapitonova (Day 1237)
For the Lord loves justice;
he will not forsake his saints.
They are preserved forever,
but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
Psalm 37:28
Justice is such a vital part of our lives. We beg God to establish His justice. However, a very short summary of what God desires from us found in the book of Micah also includes justice – “do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God.” So it’s not just our need but also our responsibility.
July 17 is International Criminal Justice Day. The churches of Ukraine chose to use this opportunity to ask for prayer that the churches of the world would rise up for justice and stand not only against the cruel russian aggression but also against the sin of indifference.
We can trust that the Lord will not forsake us, so let us be bold in standing up for justice.

One response to “7/15/2025 — We can trust that the Lord will not forsake us, so let us be bold in standing up for justice.”

As in our Ukraine
The small river flows,
Through the mountains, through the forests.
Early in the morning, the sky calls:
Rise-up sun -rise up!
Wake everything around up.
Let’s hear the native land.
The good song, the sweet heart,
Sing with good people!
As in our Ukraine –
All the fields are blossoming,
As in our Ukraine –
All the people are singing.
May happiness last long,
And may there be a lot of songs,
For their can’t be celebrations in Ukraine
Without songs.
The river flows in the dark blue sea,
It lays its own way.
And little and clear streams give all gray hair.
Water strolls along the earth,
It waters the home land.
Everything around comes to life.
Sing earth, sing!
As in our Ukraine –
All the fields are blossoming,
As in our Ukraine –
All the people are singing.
May happiness last long,
And may there be a lot of songs,
For their can’t be celebrations in Ukraine
Without songs.
