RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION
Jesus looked upon hardened hearts with anger and grief, then reached out to heal a man in need (Mark 3:5). His response shows us that righteous indignation is more than outrage at what is wrong. It is a concern for what is right, expressed through mercy and action.
We may feel deeply troubled by injustice, cruelty, or the mistreatment of others. But Scripture calls us to examine what we do with that feeling: “Be ye angry, and sin not” (Ephesians 4:26, KJV). Let anger move us to speak truth, protect the vulnerable, and seek restoration—without surrendering to bitterness or revenge.
Lord, give us hearts that grieve what grieves You and hands ready to do what is right.
