Thus says the LORD: Do justice and righteousness, and deliver from the hand of the oppressor him who has been robbed. And do no wrong or violence to the resident alien, the fatherless, and the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place. For if you will indeed obey this word, then there shall enter the gates of this house kings who sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants and their people.But if you will not obey these words, I swear by myself, declares the LORD, that this house shall become a desolation.
The result of obedience? King Righteousness, King Peace, and King Joy taking residence in my soul, directing me in the way I should go? A life free from anxiety and worry?
Bring it on, LORD, God, the Almighty
