Truth is no less true just because it is not believed; but a lie believed has the power to destroy lives…and countries.
Countries are also destroyed when we let wrongs go unchecked; when there is no recompense for deception and broken laws. When we turn our heads and let evil stand…when we do not demand truth! God is a God of Justice…Jehovah Misphat…He loves justice; the foundation of His throne is justice and righteousness.
If it’s wrong, it’s wrong for everyone, not just for others.
Us, too.
Remember that oft-quoted scripture, “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (2 Chron. 7:14)? We sometimes forget that we…Christians, His people…are who this scripture is directing to repent. We can’t look out the corner of our judgmental, narrowed eyes at others wishing they would repent. It starts with us.
I sure would like to see a nicer America.
Please Lord, let it start with Your children.
