Read Nehemiah 5:1-12  (NRSV, The Message)

I was very angry when I heard their outcry and these complaints. Nehmiah 5:6

When we witness injustice, it's natural and appropriate to feel angry. This anger can be a holy response, reflecting God's own heart for justice. However, the key lies in how we channel this emotion. Instead of letting it consume us or turn to bitterness, we can use it as fuel for positive change. Like Jesus overturning tables in the temple, righteous anger can motivate us to take bold action against injustice. The challenge is to transform our anger into constructive action that brings about real change in our communities.

How can you transform your anger about injustice into positive action that makes a real difference in someone's life?


Prayer
God, help us channel our anger about injustice in ways that honor You and help others. Guide us to turn our frustration into meaningful action. Amen.
