Today’s Devotional: Justice & Equity
Psalm 99 is a hymn of praise of God’s holy and righteous rule. In stanza 4 God is called a “Mighty King”, a lover of justice who has established equity in the execution of justice and righteousness.
In the closing days of this year’s Black History Month, celebrated in the mist a pandemic that revealed more deeply than ever the racial divisions in this country.
We should be dawned by the Psalmist reminder that we serve a righteous God who loves justice and has established equity. Biblical references to the word “justice” mean “to make right.” Justice is, first and foremost, a relational term — people living in right relationship with God. Equity is the impartial distribution of justice recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments for the imbalances.
Black History Month is an opportunity to have honest discussions about justice and equity. Recognizing that God’s will is for us to live as neighbors each in a righteous relationship with God where we make things right in justice and in equity making adjustments for the imbalances.
Praise God A Mighty King a lover of justice and equity.
