Justice(s)

Here's an interesting Proverb:

28:5 - Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand it completely.

I do not have much patience or tolerance to watch carefully over the political wranglings in DC about justice nominations. But that's not to say it's not important. How, though, is it important? It's important not that we have a balance of Republican or Democratic judges, that we walk the line between conservative and liberal, or that the controversy over the process be resolved...it's important because true justice is only ever a by-product of a changed heart. This verse is clear; there is no true, deep, abiding understanding of justice apart from a heart seeking after the Maker. Let's pray for righteous judges who seek the Lord, that there may be true justice in this part of Christ's kingdom.
