The privilege of understanding

Friends,

Many ask why.

Why are you not enraged?
Why are you so peaceful and content?
Why do you help them?
Why do you forgive those that have wronged you?

Proverbs 28:5
Evil men do not understand justice,
But those who seek the LORD understand all. [NKJV]

Those of us who have been adopted into the King's family have been called to seek the LORD. Through that pursuit, we gain understanding and wisdom. Not the wisdom of this world or of this age. But the wisdom that begins with the holy, reverential fear of the LORD.

Therefore we understand justice and are equipped to truly practice it. We are given that precious gift of understanding. And we are privileged to use it.

Be encouraged, Jose
