Jul 26 1 Chronicles 1, 1 Chronicles 2:1-17 Romans 9:22-33, Romans 10:1-4 Psalm 89:14-18
Ps 89:14
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
God is not just great and mighty – but He is just, he shows righteousness, He shows love and faithfulness.
Might on it’s own is not enough. If God was just mighty – we’d do well to live in fear, and not the good sort of fear.
I can’t put this well enough – let me quote Ravi Zacharias:
“When God is our Holy Father, sovereignty, holiness, omniscience, and immutability do not terrify us; they leave us full of awe and gratitude. Sovereignty is only tyrannical if it is unbounded by goodness; holiness is only terrifying if it is untempered by grace; omniscience is only taunting if it is unaccompanied by mercy; and immutability is only torturous if there is no guarantee of goodwill.”
He is HOLY – He is mighty – He is awesome. But all of this would be nothing without this – He is also GOOD and JUST.
