And you will again see the distinction between the righteous and the wicked, between those who serve God and those who do not'" (Malachi 3:18).

This is one of the major reasons for everything that God has ever done. All that he has created must see that His ways are right and fitting.

"Just and true are your ways, King of the ages . . . for your righteous acts have been revealed" (Rev. 15: 3, 4).

There is a right and wrong, a true and false -- and they find their basis for their identity in God. He is supreme. There is nothing higher, nothing deeper, nothing beyond God. When searching out a matter, when you arrive at God, that is all there is.

"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter:Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil" (Eccl. 12:13, 14).

Scripture for today: Rev. 16:5, 6
Thought for today: God is just and righteous in all his judgments.
Prayer for today: Holy and just are you, O God, in judging all that you have created.
