Whatever Is Just
God wants us to think thoughts that are right, righteous and just. (Phil. 4:8) These kinds of thoughts are in line with God’s law. They are approved of by and acceptable to Him. They are thoughts for which God would not judge any person.
In addition to what is just before God, we also need to think thoughts that are just before other people. Our thoughts need to be in line with man made rules and laws as well, things that are right and fair in the eyes of men. The exception to this is when the rules and laws of men contradict the laws of God. God’s laws come first.
Often times we find ourselves in positions of authority or influence over other people. We need to make sure our thoughts toward them are not wrong or unfair. Our thoughts must be in accord with what is right, just and lawful. Any judgments, opinions, or advise we give should be impartial, unbiased, fair, without prejudice and most importantly, right in the eyes of God.
