Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established fairness.  You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel.  (5) Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!  ~Psalm 99:4-5

~~~

Does it matter? 

 ...Our kids doing their homework and someone else copying it?  Or vice versa?  In the end should I care?  Should they? 

Does it matter?  

...In our workplace: to get our way, or to get ahead: white lies or manipulation of numbers/people/time.  Who will know?  Who will care?  Should we? 

Does it matter?  

Within our family or amongst friends, or on our teams/ with co-workers and employees: Do we have "favorites"?  Is there justice for all, or is there favor (even sometimes) for just a few?  Has anyone noticed?  Does it matter if they do?  

Does it matter?  

Church every Sunday or just the Sunday's that we feel like waking up?  Could God truly expect us to seek His righteousness (His ways) in our lives all the time?  Is this for real?  Is He for real? 

~~~

Must we be just with our efforts, our time, our thoughts and our faith today?  Can't we cut some corners for comfort?  And isn't "fair" a relative term, revolving around my needs? 

Do we act with justice and righteousness in our heart?  In our marriage?  In our family?  In our job?  In our lives?  

We are called to. 

Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established fairness.  You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel.  (5) Exalt the Lord our God! Bow low before his feet, for he is holy!  ~Psalm 99:4-5

Actually...someone does see the actual minutes and hours that we spend working, versus the inflated total that we might claim. Somebody does love honesty and justice in our hearts and someone abhors white lies and justifications and falsifications.  Someone sees the unfairness that we allow or partake in, and someone has established an expectation of fairness.  Will we meet it?  

We serve a God who sees.  He is mighty. He loves justice.  Do we?

He established fairness: are we following in it...what God established?  He acts with justice.  Boil down our attitudes and actions today: Are we acting with justice?  Our God acts with righteousness.  Let's look at our attitudes, our tendencies, ourselves: Do we? 

Do justice, fairness, and righteousness in our life matter?  Yes!  Because they matter to God.  And God is all that will matter in the end for us.  Make Him matter today.

You are our example, Lord!  We love you God!

Does it matter?  YES!  All of it does.  Our obedience to justice, fairness, righteousness and our Mighty King matter to God.

Seek and embody justice today.  Let's establish fairness in our affairs today.  React and align with righteousness today.  Praise the Lord for his mighty, just, fair, and righteous example today.

Blessings,

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
