The Lord Loves Justice
Psalm 37:27-34, 37
FOUNDATION

The Bible is the FOUNDATION for life.

David enjoyed an amazing relationship with God. Some 3,000 years later, his words still instruct those desiring to live a life that pleases God:

Psalm 37:27-34, 37

Depart from evil, and

Do good;
And dwell forevermore.

For the Lord loves justice,
And does not forsake His saints;
They are preserved forever,

But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.

The righteous shall inherit the land,
And dwell in it forever.

The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom,
And his tongue talks of justice.

The law of his God is in his heart;
None of his steps shall slide.

The wicked watches the righteous,
And seeks to slay him.

The Lord will not leave him in his hand,
Nor condemn him when he is judged.

Wait on the Lord,
And keep His way,
And He shall exalt you to inherit the land;

When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it.

Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright;
For the future of that man is peace.
 

God desires that wisdom, righteousness and justice characterize not only our personal lives, but also our dealings with others. Notice the reciprocal benefits! As you meditate on the verses from the 37^th Psalm, ask the Lord how you can demonstrate these qualities today.
