Psalm 58 God of Justice

Psalm 58 is a psalm to which we need to give our serious attention today.
Psalm 58 Reveals to us a God of Justice.
Do converts today groan when they come under conviction ?
We have been told that God is not a policeman in the sky
and that He is not judgmental
So we can get on with our own interests and forget God !
In practice many politicians, bankers and others in authority
have no sense of being answerable to a Sunday school morality
or to the God of the Sunday school.
The provision of public education and health services for all took root in
Europe but it is repeatedly opposed by self gratifying hoards in the U.S.A.

Psalm 58 is dead against injustice, oppression, covetousness, deception,
adultery, human trafficking, human exploitation, degrading entertainment,
and the lowering of standards and values.
Our Lord Jesus did have to pay the price for our sins on the Cross of Calvary,
because we do have a God of Justice.

Psalm 58:11 NRSV
People will say, "Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
surely there is a God who judges on earth. "
