2 July • Let God lead us to justice

Remote video URL

God promised to punish Israel for its injustice, and Psalm 5 cries out, "the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful" and promises that they will not stand before him, and then asks, "Lead me O Lord in your righteousness." If only we will turn and trust God, he will save us from whatever storm threatens us and lead us to justice.

Based on Psalm 5:5-8:

The boastful will not stand before your eyes;
  you hate all evildoers.
You destroy those who speak lies;
  the Lord abhors the bloodthirsty and deceitful.

But I, through the abundance of your steadfast love,
  will enter your house,
I will bow down towards your holy temple
  in awe of you.
Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness
  because of my enemies;
  make your way straight before me.
