Hello again sister saints!
I hope you are pressing on in the faith wherever you are on this earth!
I was pondering on the whole subject of justice. It caught my eye and heart, as a lover of truth, how many people out there are wrongly convicted and imprisoned for things they didn't do. It's sad but it got me thinking again how much God values truth and justice. Humans are always making mistakes or being deliberately violent to their fellow man.
It also makes you take carefully what you hear people say about anyone as they can be completely wrong. One day God will judge completely rightly and none will escape who shouldn't and all those who practice good works in faith of His Son will be richly rewarded.
Of course our Saviour suffered unjustly for us. He had done absolutely no wrong, and quite the opposite.
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:
1 Peter 3:16-18
Of course we as His children are to joyfully take wrong ourselves and we can rest knowing God knows. But we need to be careful to always do right to others and speak right about others. We are to be slow to speak and I am sure it would apply here too. As we know, if we answer a matter before we hear, it is folly and shame to us.
I'm sharing some scriptures on this subject to ponder on and edify us.
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalm 82:1-4
Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.Jeremiah 23:5-6
If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for he that is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.Ecclesiastes 5:8
For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.
Isaiah 59:12-14
To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.Proverbs 21:3
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.Psalm 89:14
There's so much more on it in the Word but we know God loves truth and so do we. While we are to rejoice to be wrongly treated as believers, let us do that which is right and just and true to others. The Lord help us.
I hope your godly women's duties are going well sisters! The Lord sees and let us labour as unto Him. Love, mercy, and peace unto you.
