Those that plow inequities

by -
Job  4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Inequities are the injustices, disparities, and imbalances that exist in our world. They manifest in various forms, from economic inequality to racial discrimination and social injustices and sins against God's will. 

In Job 4:8. Eliphaz, one of Job's friends, utters these profound words, recognizing a fundamental truth: those who plow evil and sow trouble will ultimately reap the consequences of their actions. This verse serves as a reminder that God sees and acknowledges the repercussions of our choices.


In our daily lives, we may inadvertently contribute to inequities through our actions, decisions, or even our silence in the face of injustice. It's crucial to acknowledge that plowing inequities can happen both individually and collectively. We must be mindful of the seeds we sow.

Consider the devastating effects of inequities on individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole. Inequities rob people of dignity, opportunity, and hope. Moreover, there are spiritual and moral consequences to participating in unjust actions, which can distance us from God's grace.

In the face of this stark reality, the Bible offers guidance. We are called to sow seeds of righteousness. This means practicing compassion, pursuing justice, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. It's a commitment to actively work towards a more equitable and just world.

Remember, just as those who plow inequities will reap trouble, those who sow righteousness will reap blessings. The Bible assures us that God rewards those who strive for justice and righteousness. Let us be encouraged by this promise and resolve to be agents of positive change in our communities.

In conclusion, Are there areas where you may have unknowingly contributed to inequities?  Seek God's forgiveness and guidance in sowing seeds of righteousness. Together, as a faith community, let us commit to making a difference, addressing inequities, and promoting justice in our world.

God bless you.
