Psalm 111:7 – “The works of His hands are truth and justice.” 

I find that text to be fascinating.  As I read, prayed, and mused on the Word, a theme began to unravel in the Psalms.

Psalm 111:2 states, “Great are the works of the LORD; they are Studied by all who delight in them.”   That is captivating.  We are to Study the Works of God.   Do we do that?  Do we even know what the works of God are?

Our text, Psalm 111:7, says, “The works of His hands are truth and justice.”  Tap the Brakes for a second.  Aren’t the works the miracles, signs, and wonders?   Yes, they are included, but it says they are “Truth and Justice.”  That moves it from acts of power to the whole of life.

Psalm 115:16 – “The heavens are the heavens of the LORD; But the earth He Has Given to the sons of men.”   God’s ways are truth and justice, and we are to study them.   Additionally, He tells us that the earth is ours; we reign over the earth.   The question is, “How are we to do that?”  The simplistic answer is “In truth and justice.”   That means that we have a commission (assignment) and authority.

Psalm 118:6 – “The LORD is for me; I will not fear; What can man do to me?”

The implication is that no man can do more to the Covenant person than God allows.  It also indicates that even if he does evil to us, there is no reason to fret because We Are Kept!   Why?  Because God is for us.

Psalm 118:17 – “I Shall not die, but live, AND tell of the works of God (Truth & Justice).

Psalm 119:71 – “It is good for me that I was afflicted, That I may LEARN Thy Statutes.”

• We learn God’s Heart as we study God’s ways (Truth & Justice).
• As we learn God’s heart, we are no longer fearful of man because we Know God.  
• As we endure trials, we rejoice because we Know God’s Heart and Know that He Never forsakes but Always keeps His own.

Psalm 119:89 – “Forever, O LORD, Thy Word is settled in heaven.”

No matter what we face, we face it knowing God’s Truth & Justice are watching over us.  We live without fear and with the expectation that God’s Ways Will Guard, Guide, and Empower us.

We have authority on earth, which means whatever we face, in Jesus, we have authority.   Therefore, exercise it!    Speak to your problem in Jesus’ name and expect it to align with His ways.  God revealed His Ways to Moses and His Acts to the children of Israel.  In the sense of Trust and Obedience, be a Moses.

Have a Great Day in Jesus!
