Dear Young Christian:
Are you looking for equity and justice in the world? Are you expecting fairness in the court system and other levels of government and society? You won’t find it! Not until the Lord comes back to earth to reign during the time we refer to as the millennium. This evening my wife and I were reading Psalm 67 after our evening meal. We particularly noticed the fourth verse: “O let the nations be glad and sing for joy: for Thou shalt judge the people righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Selah.” We looked up the verse in another translation and found the word, “righteously” translated “equitably.” This Psalm looks forward to the time when there will be equity executed on planet earth by the Lord when He reigns as “KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS” (Revelation 19:16). Malachi explains it this way: “But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in His wings” (Malachi 4:2). In the meantime we are to “live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world” (Titus 2:12).
