"He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the Lord.”
Psalms 33:5 ESV
The Lord loves justice.
One of the beautiful and convicting realizations that comes from this simple statement is how inseparable justice is from a right understanding of God and His purposes. Imagine for a moment that you were to describe the nature of God - how would you begin? Would you start with His love? His power? His work as Creator and Redeemer?
Here’s how the Lord describes himself:
“For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe. He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the sojourner, giving him food and clothing.”
Deuteronomy 10:17-19 ESV
How do we respond to this revelation?
