God's Justice

The Lord is just. He will not allow man to take pride in his own craftiness. He allows him to be exposed in his deciet and dishonesty. He leaves the proud man's justification defenseless. He brings the proud down from his loftiness and makes his justice foolishness. He who hears the Lord's judgement though he be cast down is wise but he who resists the righteousness of God is a great fool. His paths will never be straightened and he will follow crookedness into deeper despair for the rest of his life. God does not find pleasure in crookedness nor will He allow prosperity in deceit. He will visit both the just and unjust with His judgements. The just man will listen with discernment and wisdom and correct his ways while the unjust man will harden his heart and set himself against His own Maker. The just will thank the Lord for deliverance and the unjust will hide from His mercy and grace.
God's remnant people must learn to not identify this world's sense of justice with God's. We must not follow the paths of this world without questioning it's destination. Many are dissatisfied and feel disillusioned with the courses taken by the nations in today's world affairs. But it is at the crossraods of justice and fairness that man either chooses to crafts his own devices or he puts his pride aside and presents himself fully exposed to God who knows every matter of the heart. Let us be determined to humble ourselves and follow after God's justice.
