Righteousness pays

in #steemchurch6 years ago

The Psalmist likens these who trust in the Lord, i.e. the righteous, to mount Zion. And what is the key function about Zion? It cannot be moved, it abides forever. So the human beings of God just like Zion are secure, like a tent peg that is properly fastened, like an Iroko tree that is firmly rooted to the ground; they are secure forever. Isn't this blessed and wonderful?

However, often God's humans are referred to as to stay under fallen human leaders. Sometimes the political environment is no longer solely adverse however is . such that lets in and even compels God's people to stay against God. Sometimes the regulation of the country is pitched against the Law of God. A right example is how the homosexual subculture is being pushed with the aid of political leaders today. If care is not taken the righteous may additionally be pressured into doing evil. But God will assist his people and such tyrannical rule can solely final for a time. The psalmist prays a prayer in v.4 which all Christians should pray continually. God is appropriate to his human beings and will act in a way that is righteous toward His own.
