Faithfulness, Mercy and Justice

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others.”-Matthew 23:23

So often, we hear many speak of the importance of tithing, but as Matthew 23:23 shares while tithing is good, we must not neglect the “weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness.”

One definition of faithfulness says faithfulness comes from a “place of trust and loyalty”. A pretty good description. We place our trust in God and even if and when we have doubts, our loyalty carries us through until our faith grows to meet the challenges we face :).

Mercy. We are all familiar with and love God’s Mercy. And we all pray for it :). For no matter how hard we try, there will always be times we fall. And there will always be challenges in this life on earth that are simply beyond us. God’s Mercy will make the difference 🙂

God’s Justice is coming. We have read about it in the Bible and it is coming to this country and to the world. Our nation has turned away from the God who Blessed it so, sadly our nation will pay the price.

It may be that we will be “hid in the Day of the Lord’s anger”, we pray so. Prepare, Pray and Be Ready…
