He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
Psalm 33:5(NLT)
WHATEVER IS JUST AND GOOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whatever is just and good is loved by the Lord
He doesn’t want evil and cruelty in this world
He designed us for righteousness and not evil
He doesn’t want us to be controlled by the devil.
Think only of what is pure and good and honorable
Then you will be godly and totally admirable
The Lord’s love is unconditional and unfailing
Do whatever is just and good so you won’t be sinning.

Do you ever wonder why people choose to do evil rather than do good? The apostle Paul talks about human nature. We usually desire good but end up doing the opposite. Why are we not victorious over our nature to be bent on satisfying our flesh? It took me many years to understand it because I was raised to believe that I make my own destiny and build my own dreams and career. I was foolish to think that I can do anything in my own strength. I believed that I can change myself, people around me and the world. What a dreamer!!!
The bible tells us that the Lord loves whatever is just and good and his unfailing love fills the earth. Do we allow his love to rule our lives?
