What Does Justice Look Like?

On By vickleaIn Dr. Denison’s Forum, Scripture4 Comments

I don’t want to spend time on politics, but I do want to encourage those of us who are dismayed, perhaps even outraged, by the vagaries of our current justice system. I think Denison’s article says it best, so I am sharing it here with you.

Former president Donald Trump declared guilty

I also want to share with you the Scriptures that God gave me to calm my weary soul.

Don’t assume that you know what justice looks like in this case. Let God be the final Judge.

The U.S. has been ripe for reaping God’s wrath for a while now. The immorality of our nation is apparent and the turning away from God is obvious to those with our eyes open. I am not a prophet, but the prophets in the Old Testament got it right when they prophesied against Israel and the coming exile and destruction of their nation. Perhaps this is a warning bell tolling for the U.S. Maybe not…but it surely appears ominous to me. Presidential elections carry consequences as we have seen. Pray before you go to the polls. Make sure you let your voice be heard at the ballot box…don’t be silenced by the vocal majority! There may be three Supreme Court justices up for nomination in the next election cycle. What kind of justice system do you want? A kangaroo court persecuting political opponents or real justice that is equal for all?

Using the justice system against your political opponents is not something that should happen anywhere in the world, but it has been happening for ages in communist and socialist nations that don’t allow opposition. This conviction is opening a door that may not ever be able to be closed, and I am watching for God’s hand in bringing the justice to our nation, not to President Trump, but to an entire nation that is determined to go its own way, without regard to God’s law and His hand that has been on our nation since its founding. Read Denison’s article again…and pray!

We Are Dust

On By vickleaIn Scripture, Song1 Comment

The Lord who created us knows that we are but dust from the earth and one day our human bodies will return to the ground from which it was created. But our breath, our soul, the inner part of us came from the very breath of God. That is why I believe that life is sacred and not to be dismissed as not valuable. Today, mankind is generally led around by the current beliefs, whatever they may be. The current term is a being ”woke” but I actually think that the people of the earth are more asleep to the mighty power of God and His judgment that is coming than they have ever been.

Like dust, we are blown around by the winds of change, the opinions of man mattering more to many of us than the truth of God’s Word. My prayer and hope is that there will be a fresh wind of the Holy Spirit that blows into each life of each Christian. If I must be blown around, God grant that it will be with the wind of the Holy Spirit and not the hot air that man produces with his own ideas of right and wrong.

What settles dust blowing around? Rain! The refreshing rain of the Word of God that showers us with His truth about His love, grace, mercy and, yes, the judgment to come. I desire to be refreshed daily so I spend time in God’s Word allowing Him to speak to me. It’s amazing to me that some people never spend time with God and yet they think they have all of the answers to life’s problems. It’s not a possibility for them to have answers since they don’t even know what the questions are. Who made us? God. To whom do we owe everything we are and all that we have? God. Who decides our ultimate fate for eternity? God. I am praying that God will intervene in the sinfulness of our world and send His wind and His rain. But, whether he chooses to continue to strive with mankind or not, I do know that my life in Him is secure and I can trust Him to send His Holy Spirit to guide me and His rain to teach me.
