Doing What Is Right And Just And Fair
The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel: for
gaining wisdom and instruction; for understanding words of insight; for
receiving instruction in prudent behavior, doing what is right and just and
fair; for giving prudence to those who are simple, knowledge and discretion to
the young— let the wise listen and add to their learning, and let the
discerning get guidance— for understanding proverbs and parables, the sayings
and riddles of the wise.
The
fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and
instruction.
Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction and do not forsake
your mother’s teaching. They are a garland to grace your head and a chain to
adorn your neck.
Proverbs 1:1-9
If we insist on fair treatment for ourselves, we can become
angry and frustrated. But when we embrace the Bible’s wisdom, we will seek the
welfare of others.
Do not look for justice, but always give it. Never allow
anything that comes up to sour your relationship with men. Always keep your
relationship with Jesus Christ in the forefront of everything you do in life.
When you experience unfairness, it is our privilege and
responsibility as followers of Christ to respond with honesty and integrity,
doing what is right, just, and fair.
Life is not fair, but God is always
faithful.
