Justice

Monday May 22nd Psalm 98: The Lord will judge the world with justice and the nations with fairness. The Lord’s justice and fairness extends to all. Justice is not just taking our side; it is taking the side of all of creation. One interesting tidbit from this morning’s news, the two hundred or so cities in the U.S. that have signed on to the Kyoto accords are doing better economically than U.S. Cities in general. Sometimes, seeking justice and fairness for all pays off in the short term. It always pays off in the long term. God looks at the long term and asks us to do the same.
