The Work of Uncoupling Justice and Righteousness By Dr. Bob Snyder

God’s View of Justice and Righteousness
Justice is important. God commands it of me. But when I choose to uncouple justice from righteousness, I get myself into trouble. What is the result?
…but let him who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:24 NIV
Apart from God and His righteousness, my attempts at justice can sometimes lead to pride and idolatry. I am far too quick to say what I think is right. The better way is to listen to God and allow His truth to reveal what is just.
Will you join me this week in listening to the God of justice and righteousness? His way is always the best.
Sharing the journey with you.
