Understanding justice.

May God speak to our hearts this morning.



Proverbs 28:5



5 Evil men do not understand justice,

But those who seek the LORD understand all.



To really understand this verse we need to make sure we understand the meaning of justice...so here is the definition from the dictionary:



jus·tice



1. the quality of being just; righteousness, equitableness, or moral rightness



It becomes very obvious that evil men do not understand justice when we know the meaning. Evil men are not just. They have no righteousness in them. Equitableness can be defined as fairness. Evil folks are not concerned with being fair. Of course if they have thrown all these other qualities to the side we know evil people have no moral rightness.



Now on the other hand before we get to feeling to good about ourselves we are are followers of Christ, let me remind you we are all evil until we accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We do not become just, righteous, fair, and moral by our own doing, it is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. When we seek the Lord with all our hearts, mind, body and strength we understand justice.



So do you understand justice this morning? If you are seeking God you can!
