Bringing Forth Justice [Isaiah 42.1-4]

What do you feel when you see the brokenness all around? Do you feel a sense of hopelessness? There is only so much one can do in the face of the pain. But there is One that can do something. We find encouragement in this passage as we look to God’s Servant who comes bringing forth justice!


[Isaiah 42.1-4]

1 Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights; I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the nations. 2 He will not cry aloud or lift up his voice, or make it heard in the street; 3 a bruised reed he will not break, and a faintly burning wick he will not quench; he will faithfully bring forth justice. 4 He will not grow faint or be discouraged till he has established justice in the earth; and the coastlands wait for his law.
