Jeremiah 9
Verse 24 "But those who wish to boast should boast in this alone: that they truly know me and understand that I am the Lord who demonstrates unfailing love and who brings justice and righteousness to the earth, and that I delight in these things. I, the Lord, have spoken!"
God is the source of justice and righteousness. Anytime there is injustice or corruption God has been removed from the equation. We live in a world that has been corrupted by sin and the systems of this world have been perverted by the hands and hearts of sinful man. Many people shake their fist in anger toward God because they have suffered an injustice. Many of these injustices come through our court systems and even through our Churches. People blame God for the suffering and pain that injustice has brought them, but God is not to blame.
Ever since Adam sinned, God has been try to get his blessing into our lives through a corrupt system. There is nothing wrong with Gods justice or righteousness, but the system through which it is supposed to be ministered has been perverted. Sinful man bends justice in order to gain wealth, prideful man refuses to admit he is wrong and shifts the blame to the innocent and defenseless. A greed filled man lies and deceives others, consuming what was supposed to be passed on to those in need. The list goes on and on, so instead of shaking our fist in anger toward God, we should bow our heads in prayer and vote for righteous people who have a heart submitted to God. The source is good, but the system has become corrupt, so let's change the system and the source will flow freely bringing the justice and righteousness that God desires to reign in the earth
