1. The World’s Injustice and Corruption
We live in times where human justice often fails, and corrupt leaders rule with deception and wickedness. These leaders are driven by power, and their judgments are often influenced by greed, bribery, and demonic forces. They cause harm to the innocent and perpetuate suffering.
Scripture:
"Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and to the writers who write misfortune, which they have prescribed." (Isaiah 10:1, NKJV)
In a world ruled by human authorities and demonic forces, justice is often perverted. But we are not to despair, for the perfect justice of God transcends all.

Unlike human judgment, which is tainted by evil, God's justice is flawless and righteous. He sees the heart of every matter and ensures that justice is served according to His divine will. His judgment is perfect, and those who trust in Him will find peace.
Scripture:
"The Lord is righteous in all His ways, gracious in all His works." (Psalm 145:17, NKJV)
God’s justice is pure, and those who live in His righteousness will experience His peace. His judgment will always be just, and He will protect the innocent from the wicked.

3. The Role of Divine Wisdom in Justice
God desires His people to seek wisdom, not the power of men. By adhering to His guidance, we are led into the path of perfect justice and peace. It is only through His wisdom that we can navigate the trials of life and remain in peace, even when the world is chaotic.
Scripture:
"For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding." (Proverbs 2:6, NKJV)
As we seek God's wisdom, we align ourselves with His justice and peace, which surpasses all understanding and human reasoning.

4. The Future of the Wicked
While the wicked may seem to prosper for a time, they will not escape the ultimate judgment of God. Those who corrupt justice and oppress the innocent will face God's wrath, and their judgment will be swift and eternal. We can take comfort in the knowledge that God will make all things right.
Scripture:
"But the wicked will be cut off from the earth, and the unfaithful will be uprooted from it." (Proverbs 2:22, NKJV)
The wicked will not escape their fate. God will bring justice to those who have caused suffering and anguish.
