God demands fairness

“then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn: but he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.” Deuteronomy 21:16-17 KJV https://bible.com/bible/1/deu.21.16-17.kjv

God demands fairness

God is a just God and demands the same of us. The Bible tells us in many instances that God hates those who pervert justice. In today’s Bible reading, the Israelites were receiving commandments on how to deal with children of their wives. In this instance, an example was given of the first born child being from the unloved wife with the younger child being from the favored wife. The guidance is to give to the child what the rights of the first born dictates regardless of whether or not he is the beloved child.  It is therefore important that at all times we work in fairness and justice because God demands it of us. In fact, he fights on behalf of the oppressed. You don’t want to be on God’s war path. It is a recipe for destruction. 

Prayer: Dear Lord, thank you because you are a faithful, merciful and just God. Thank you because there is no shadow of turning in you. Please Lord, teach me your ways. Help me to be more like you in justice and fairness always in Jesus name 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾. ‎
