He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord . Proverbs 17:15 ESV I don't comdemn the righteous. Or do I? When I don't believe someone When I wonder what they were doing going there, at that time. When I judge without knowing someone's story.  When i haven't walked in their shoes. I wonder if that's what the writer is getting at. God hates injustice And loves justice Do stand up for, stand beside, walk with, advocate for, the hurt, the broken, the powerless...the victim...the innocent. If this is God's heart, it needs to be mine too. Sounds messy. Difficult Costly Uncomfortable Can't I just leave this to someone else? #proverbs #wisdom #somethingtochewon #lovepeople #standwith #bearoneanothersburdens

Friday! Proverbs! He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous are both alike an abomination to the Lord . Proverbs 17:15 ESV An abomination! That is strong language! Doesn't leave any wriggle room. God hates injustice. How do we justify the wicked? We believe their delusions. We cut them slack because they're powerful, or like us, or we know them. We minimise what they've done. So don't Don't justify the wicked, the perpetrator. God hates injustice And loves justice Do stand up for, stand beside, walk with, advocate for, the hurt, the broken, the powerless...the victim...the innocent. If this is God's heart, it needs to be mine too. #proverbs #wisdom #somethingtochewon #lovepeople #standwith #bearoneanothersburdens
