Deuteronomy 32:4

Our God is a God of infinite justice. Sometimes we don’t understand His ways – we expect Him to deal with situations as we would. For example, we tend to expect life to be fair: if we do all the right things, then life should work out well for us…if we are good to people, we expect them to be good to us. But this isn’t always the case. Horrible things happen to innocent people all the time, and we wonder what God is doing.

He is not subject to our thoughts on what is “fair.” Life is definitely not fair a lot of the the time. But…if we can see that although God is not “fair” in a human sense – He is ALWAYS JUST. He operates out of a law of justice rather than a human law of fairness:

Rev. 15:3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: "Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!

Ps. 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

If we look at this verse in Deuteronomy, we can see another verse with 7 statements about God all wrapped up in one verse. I love that!

Deut. 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.

• He is a Rock

• He is Perfect in every way

• He is a God of Justice

• He is a God of Truth

• He is without injustice – It is interesting that in this list, the Lord talks about justice twice; also this is not something added to the list – rather it is a statement of something that God does NOT have. He has no shred of injustice in Him. It is not possible for Him to act or respond to us in a manner that is unjust.

• He is Righteous

• He is Upright

Deut. 32:3 calls us to respond to the wonderful name and greatness of our God – what else can be said of Him who is without injustice and perfect in every way?

Ascribe greatness to our God
