Read Isaiah 42:1-9

The Lord says,

“Here is my servant, whom I strengthen—

the one I have chosen, with whom I am pleased.

I have filled him with my Spirit,

and he will bring justice to every nation.

²He will not shout or raise his voice

or make loud speeches in the streets.

³He will not break off a bent reed

or put out a flickering lamp.

He will bring lasting justice to all.

⁴He will not lose hope or courage;

he will establish justice on the earth.

Distant lands eagerly wait for his teaching.”

⁵God created the heavens and stretched them out;

he fashioned the earth and all that lives there;

he gave life and breath to all its people.

And now the Lord God says to his servant,

⁶“I, the Lord, have called you and given you power

to see that justice is done on earth.

Through you I will make a covenant with all peoples;

through you I will bring light to the nations.

⁷You will open the eyes of the blind

and set free those who sit in dark prisons.

⁸“I alone am the Lord your God.

No other god may share my glory;

I will not let idols share my praise.

⁹The things I predicted have now come true.

Now I will tell you of new things

even before they begin to happen.”

I, the LORD, have called you and given you power to see that justice is done on earth... - Verse 6

Lord you give Jesus the power to bring Justice to all the Earth. Teach me to surrender to his authority and justice today. Amen.
