PSALM 58:1-2
Justice—do you rulers know the meaning of the word? Do you judge the people fairly? 2 No! You plot injustice in your hearts. You spread violence throughout the land.

REFLECT
This week’s devotional is written with an understanding that God created the heavens and earth and out of His perfect creation, there is perfect value. A value worth fighting for. That you, as a believer in Christ, have eternity written on your heart, and out of that, we respond differently to the idea of justice for any of the many things that our culture demands a response to.
