Series: 2024 Bible ReadingAnd now, a minute with the Word…
“You must not spread a false report. Do not join the wicked to be a malicious witness. You must not follow a crowd in wrongdoing. Do not testify in a lawsuit and go along with a crowd to pervert justice.” (Exodus 23.1-2)
Perversion of justice would go on to be one of the many things that God punished the people of Israel for later in their history (Isaiah 1.21-23) Justice is extremely important to God, but we need to remember to always align our concept of justice with what God calls justice. God also tells His people to not take justice into their own hands, but that He will repay. God will set right all the injustices in this world (Revelation 19.11, Psalms 96.13). Let us be a people who uphold justice and practice righteousness at all times. (Psalms 106.3)
