Justice?

 Many seek the ruler’s favor, but justice comes from the LORD. Proverbs 29:26

I am not sure what to think about the world we live in. We have people hollering for justice, no justice, no peace they say. What they really want is their way, it is not real justice they are after. When I look at what is happening in the trial of the police officer that kneeled on the neck of George Floyd.. The BLM wants the officer in prison for murder. But what if the toxicology reports say it was the actual drugs he ingested to hide the drugs from the police that actually killed him? Will that satisfy the mob? We know it will not satisfy, the only thing that will satisfy a mob is a guilty verdict for murder. I am not trying to defend the police officer here, I just want to talk about justice. If it was the actual drugs ingested that killed George Floyd, the officer perhaps should receive more training but not a life in prison. I would not want some police officer kneeling on my neck but then I wouldn't be fighting the police to start with. True justice comes from God. We may think we get away with stuff here below with a good lawyer and plenty of money to pay them, but when we stand before God there will be no lies told. I have no idea if O J Simpson is guilty or innocent but I do know God knows the truth. If he killed two people and got off for murder here below, he will face God. I went on some kind of a journey in my life, It started with wanting to cross racial boundaries. I did make a conscious effort to cross racial boundaries. I learned some things and then unlearned them in the process. Part of my journey took me to a Black Baptist church. I have attended and been a member of several over the years. I really wanted to be right in my own heart as far as race matters. Now many years later after the stupidity of many in our nation, I have noticed some of the Black pastors I have really trusted are political first and Christian second. If you have political leanings first in your life, it will cloud your judgment. God needs to be first. I am not saying this about liberals only. It stands for all political leanings. If you have read me for any length of time, you will know I lean right politically.  The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left. Ecclesiastes 10:2. This was written long before there was a right and left politically. It means basically what the New Living Translation says. A wise person chooses the right road; a fool takes the wrong one. Ecclesiastes 10:2. Christians should not misuse the word of God any more than a Black Pastor (Black or White) should support BLM.  I have also seen a White Pastor quote the above reference without saying anything about it being a joke. I have jokingly quoted the above scripture myself but I made sure I noted I am saying it in jest. We are living in a day and age when we need to stand for the truth and not a political agenda. The stakes are too high. People will go to hell when they stand before a just God and have not repented of their sins. Politics can make our journey here a little better, but true justice comes from God on Judgment Day. We need to choose the right road, we need to seek justice from God. Really we need mercy and grace from God because we all have sinned. True justice does not come from a mob getting their way, it comes from trusting God. We may not always see true justice here below, but judgment day is coming and politics and lies will not matter on that day. What will matter is what have you done with Jesus? Have you accepted or rejected him? God bless, LVZ.
