The Pain of Injustice and the Danger of Unresolved Sin

Key Scriptures

2 Samuel 13:14 (CSB):
“But he refused to listen to her, and because he was stronger than she was, he disgraced her by raping her.”

2 Samuel 13:22 (CSB):
“And Absalom didn’t say anything to Amnon, either good or bad, because he hated Amnon since he disgraced his sister Tamar.”

“Be angry and do not sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your anger, and don’t give the devil an opportunity.”

Reflection Questions

Where do I see injustice or unaddressed pain in my life or family that needs to be brought into the light?

How do I usually respond to anger—by suppressing it, exploding, or bringing it to God?

What can I learn from Tamar’s courage and Absalom’s destructive silence?

How can I be a voice for justice in my own sphere of influence?
