Justice and righteousness are two buzz words being throw around by political parties these days and both have very different understandings of their meanings. Political parties do not see eye to eye on nearly anything, so even the idea of justice and righteousness is a grey one to them. Fortunately, we have an ultimate judge and bringer of righteousness in God. Psalms says, “Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.” Justice and righteousness are of God; it is when we veer from His way in favor of what sounds or feels good in the moment that we sacrifice the justice and righteousness we claim to want. Today, have faith that when we commit our ways to the Lord, what will follow will be just and righteous.

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.” – Psalm 37:5-6 ESV
