Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge uprightly among men? (Psalm 58:1). I am not directing this verse to the rulers only, but am extending it to all Christians as well. God wants us to speak righteously. He wants us to speak words which heal, build, edify, encourage, comfort, strengthen; words which are full of faith, words which gives grace to those who hear them. God does not want us to devise injustice. The spirit influencing us to do injustice to others does not come from God. It comes from satan. Our God is a God of justice.

We will not reap exactly what we have sown, we will reap in MULTIPLICATION, whether good or bad. Be warned. Prayer: Father, help us to speak right & to do justice to all. Forgive us for the careless words we have spoken. Wash us by the blood of Jesus. Purify us from all unrighteousness. Cancel the guilty judgment arising from speaking careless words.

If our hearts are not changed, following God's rules will be unpleasant & difficult. We will rebel against being told how to live the Christian way. The Holy Spirit, however, gives us new desires, helping us wanting to obey God. With new hearts, hearts of flesh & not hearts of stone, we will find that serving God is our greatest joy. Under God's new covenant, God's law is inside us & not outside, ie, on a tablet of stone. No, it's written in our hearts. It is no longer an external set of rules & principles. The Holy Spirit reminds us of Christ's words, activates our ...
