When You Encounter Injustice, Speak Out!

Today's Devotional
I pray that you start every day with God. I chose to read daily devotions from Our Daily Bread. Today’s devotion is titled “A Time to Speak.” Patricia Raybon wrote this devotion. The scripture reading is from Ecclesiastes 3:1–7. The key verse is, “There is a time for everything . . . a time to be silent and a time to speak.” Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7. My beloved brothers and sisters in Christ; before I write, I first pray to God to guide my words to serve as spiritual food and guidance. I desire God to be my sole source of writing. All the credit goes to God, not me. I am his humble servant. I thank God that He led me to use Our Daily Bread Ministries to inspire comments and witnessing.
Background: 
Ecclesiastes may seem pessimistic, and we might easily read today’s poem about time in a depressingly fatalistic light. We can live joyfully in the acknowledgment of our great eternal God, who gives us genuine meaning in this life and a forever future in the next.
My Comments to You:
It is essential to speak out against injustice. I have no problem speaking out and engaging in dialogue concerning injustices. Christians must speak against injustices in this world and pray. It takes courage and love to speak up against injustice. Seeking God’s help, however, we recognize the time to speak is now.
Reflect:
Why is it important not to be silent during discussions about injustice? What hinders your willingness to engage in such dialogue? 
My Prayer for Us:
Dear God, release our tongues and hearts from the enemy’s grip. Equip us to see and feel the harm of injustice so that we may speak up for those hurt by this sin.
