Psalm 33:4-5 - For the word of the Lord is right, and all His work is done in truth. He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.
These two verses cover a lot of bases. First of all it's all about God!
The word of the LORD is right. His Word is straight, upright, correct, pleasing; to be right, level, just, lawful and smooth, as Strong's Concordance tells us. Of course, one has to believe in His Word to start out, or be interested in learning from it. The Word of the LORD is His Word and His Word is His Son, the Word made flesh. And Jesus is truth.
His work is done in truth. There is no falseness in our God. He is all truth and honesty. He is, after all, Almighty God and why would He lie? That's what we have a devil to do, and he's good at it.
He loves righteousness. That's why He sent His Son to die for all mankind. His desire is for all to receive His gift of salvation. ALL. He wouldn't choose one and not another. We are all steeped in unrighteousness and sin. ALL. He would love to see all become righteous, through Jesus...only through Jesus. Jesus, the only Mediator between God and man.
He loves justice. He will not let those who do not receive the gift of His Son go unpunished. It wouldn't be fair. Yet there are some who will totally reject Him. So if one thinks that all people will go to heaven, they are mistaken, believing satan's lie. Remember, He is truth, His Word is truth, His work is truth. His Word shows us, if we search the scriptures, what happens to those who reject the truth of His Word...Jesus.
The earth is filled with His goodness. Goodness comes from God. He created this earth that we might see His goodness, know the wisdom and power of our Creator, be awestruck by it all, live in it and with it. But man chose and still chooses to believe he can be like God. If one sees poverty, oppression, death, destruction, it is not caused by God. It is a result of man making the wrong choices over so many years, with it escalating today, choosing self or stuff over God...being separated from Him. He does not want to see these bad things happening.
However, we can live amidst the trauma of this life with peace in our souls if we know that we know the God who created all things, including us. Created...not evolved. That revelation, that truth, will be revealed when seeking His Words of truth and by living an upright life in Christ, bearing the title of righteous...only because of Jesus.
It all starts with God and will one day end with Him. We are either for Him or against Him. We either worship Him or other idols/gods. Choose this day whom you will serve: God or gods, spiritual life or physical life (life or death), truth or lies. Remember, He is eternal, no beginning, no end, life started with Him, it will end with Him. But eternal life begins and ends with Him also! Praise God. He wishes none to perish but that ALL would have eternal life. It's our choice.
Psalm 33:11 - The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of His heart to all generations.
