Righteousness




I never truly understood the value of righteousness and justice-until the events in Malaysia were made public

The powerful decked in extravagant luxuries, with nary a thought for the poor family who cannot afford to eat anything other than egg and rice
Those who take delight in throwing money at boutiques overseas (where one handbag costs at least RM 15000)-robbed from the people who struggle to make ends meet.
The corrupt who speak empty lies-throwing our medical system into disarray while flying overseas themselves least a headache comes around
Those who would kill-snuffle a life of a future father, breaking the hearts of his family-just to amass money they don't even need, to buy million dollar houses overseas, away from Malaysia.
The defenceless brave people who wore yellow, walking in peace only to be bombarred with acid gas.

The anguished cry for righteousness.....

Oh, how precious it is that my God, is a righteous God.

Psalm 9: 8 He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.

Psalm 7: 17 I will give thanks to the LORD because of his righteousness;
I will sing the praises of the name of the LORD Most High.
