he will judge the peoples with equity

First Reading: Psalm: Gospel:

Revelation 14:14-19 Psalm 96:10-13 Luke 21:5-11

Psalm 96:10  Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."

Politicians will promise fairness and equity, but they do not have the power or the righteousness to deliver it.  If they deny God and his righteousness, if they extract the Gospel from their lives and policy making, then they have no hope of bringing fairness and equity.  Only God can do that, because the world is his and everything in it.

Father, help me by your Holy Spirit to seek fairness and equity only through your grace and mercy.  Help me not to get caught up in the empty promises of others who deny you.

Amen
