Be Still And Know

God's Justice

“Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”

Genesis 18:25

God’s judgment of Sodom and Gomorrah was right because of unrepentant sin.  God’s provision of deliverance for Lot and his family was right because they took the way of salvation God offered to them. God’s justice and His righteousness are woven together in perfect unity in His character and in the scriptures.  God never suspends one attribute to exercise another.  All that God does flows forth from all that God is in His character.  God is loving toward all He has made, because God is love.  God is just in all His judgments because God is righteous. There is never any contradiction in God.   When looking at the world and all its injustices, it is comforting to know that justice flows from the heart of a just God.  When judgment comes in any situation, it is comforting to know that God always does right.  As the time draws ever nearer for the Just Judge of all the earth to come and rule and reign as the Righteous King, may our hearts be aligned rightly regarding the awesome character of our holy God—the One who ALWAYS displays perfect justice and righteousness in every situation.

“We worship you today, Father, as the God of Justice and the God of Righteousness. Give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, that we might rightly discern the circumstances in this world and in our personal lives from Your divine perspective.  Align our hearts with Yours, that we would never be offended by Your judgments, but always trust in Your righteousness.  In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.”
