Today Bible verse is – Psalm 58:1
“Do you rulers indeed speak justly? Do you judge people with equity?”
Devotion for May 1, 2025
Justice is not a modern idea—it is God’s idea. From the beginning, He has called His people to reflect His character, and justice is at the heart of who He is. Psalm 58 is a piercing rebuke, directed at leaders who twist truth and silence righteousness for selfish gain. But it also speaks to us today—whether we hold positions of power or simply navigate the daily decisions of life.
We may not wear robes or sit on benches, but every believer is called to “judge with equity”—to treat others with fairness, humility, and unwavering truth. At work, in parenting, in community, in the Church—your integrity matters. God sees how you respond when no one’s watching. Do you favor comfort over truth? Do you protect your image more than you protect the vulnerable?
In an age where injustice screams loudly, God is still searching for those who will speak justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him. This verse doesn’t just question the rulers—it questions us. Let it be a holy mirror. Are your words righteous? Are your judgments fair?
Today, ask the Lord to cleanse your heart, align your motives, and make you a vessel of His justice—right where you are.
Prayer for May 1, 2025
Righteous Father, search me and know me. Cleanse me of bias, selfishness, and hidden pride. Teach me to speak truth with love and to judge with the mercy You’ve shown me. In every role I hold—at home, in work, in ministry—help me reflect Your justice. Give me courage to stand for what’s right, even when it costs. Let my life point others to Your fairness and faithfulness. In Jesus’ name, amen.
