Passage: Psalm 58
Verse: Psalm 58:1-2, 10-11 (NIV)
- Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity?
- No, in your heart you devise injustice, and your hands mete out violence on the earth.
- The righteous will be glad when they are avenged, when they dip their feet in the blood of the wicked.
- Then people will say, “Surely the righteous still are rewarded; surely there is a God who judges the earth.”
Throughout the Bible, we see that the rulers of the day often did not speak justly or judge others fairly. Unfortunately, these undesirable traits exist in some of the worldly leaders today. While we may seek to see their violent and vengeful deed avenged, may we remember that the battle belongs to the Lord. May we also remember the words of the prophet Micah. Micah told us what the Lord requires of us. We are to act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with [our] God. May we do just that! May we find comfort in knowing that the Lord also rewards the righteous.
I noticed most passages are 2 Corinthians and Psalms.

I have been working from a Nazarene devotional series. They usually suggest the passage and verse… and I write what I feel prompted to communicate in response.
We hope to expand some of our online church activities. Would you be interested in becoming more involved? We could meet and talk more… if you are.
