"Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;
God comes in awesome majesty.
The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;
in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
Therefore, men revere him,
for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart?"
_____[Job]+37:22-24 _____emphasis my own.
- Righteousness - Morally upright; without guilt or sin
- Oppress- To keep down by severe and unjust use of force or authority
isn't it funny how the only one without guilt or sin, the only one with room to condemn is the only one who does not oppress.
how often do we use force our authority to oppress those around us? the authority that we recieve from the only one who is in position to use it.
in his justice, he promises not to act unjustly. funny how we follow a man, yet do not follow his actions and his decrees.
just a thought. comment.
