Justice
God is a God of justice. The Bible says He loves justice. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Even though our worldly judicial system is corrupt and unfair, God is the ultimate Judge. And He is the One in control of everything. He will bring justice either in this life or in the one to come. Let God be the One Who fights for you. We need to trust that He will make all things right.
