Today we learned about Psalm 9 and the Celebration of God's justice. What is justice? With the suffering that exists in the world, how do we define justice? As David writes the Psalm, it is hard to not think about the injustice David faced with Goliath and King Saul. At the end of the day, God rules with justice to those who call on him. We may not think of it as justice on this side, but as believers knowing what lies ahead for us in heaven can help us make sense of the suffering here on earth. (Psalm 9: 1-12)
