:( feel like just going to some place far far away... but that would mean... i'm running away?
Day 69.
Just wanna point out something i read. Deuteronomy 16:18-20.(ESV - closest to the one im reading)
18"You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. 19 You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. 20Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Was gonna say that we should judge people with righteous judgement, but then i remembered, who are we to judge others? Hmm but if by some chance someone becomes a judge one day, this would be good to follow..to judge others with righteous judgement. I also like how in v19 it says that we shall not pervert justice and not show partiality, in my version it says "do not deny justice or show partiality to anyone". Which means that justice is an action, or a choice that we make, which can be denied to others. Then in v20 in the version in reading(Holman Christian Standard Bible), it says "Pursue justice, and justice alone.." I like how they use the word pursue, because it gives it a sense of something thats effort needs to be put into it, and that it is something that we gotta do actively and ongoing all the time. To pursue is to chase or go after, that takes time, effort, energy, and most often isn't easy at all. We are meant to pursue justice! God is a just God, so we His children should be like Him.
