King David – Justice 2
Psalm 89:14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne.
Ethan the Ezratite announced this Psalm and in it, he would declare that the throne of the Almighty God is established on (1) righteousness and (2) justice.
The everlasting authority of God that never ends, that defies all kingdoms, authorities and thrones is built upon righteousness and justice.
The prevailing justice of God is foundational to His kingship. So, what does that even mean for us today? And if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promises [Galatians 3:29].
