Isaiah 30:18 says, “For the Lord is a God of justice." As we see a lack of justice, the foundations of the earth are becoming unstable. To the degree that man abandons justice based on righteousness, mercy, and truth, to that degree, the very pillars of all foundations of the earth are being shaken. Without mercy and truth, there is no justice! God is incredibly merciful but He is also incredibly just and that justice has an accountability side to it. If we take truth apart from mercy, it will turn into legalism. If we take mercy apart from truth, it will turn into liberalism and no accountability. Turn your heart to God and rule your life based on the justice of God’s Word by walking in love and applying truth mercifully and in love.
