The Unity of Truth
Part 3 of 3
As the people of those days didn’t understand the meaning David intended when he said, “The judgments of our Lord are true”, so those of our day are no more enlightened. Their brand of truth is the opposite of David’s meaning. They are so blind they don’t see the instability, uncertainty, and the lack of trustworthiness or assurance they have in their power to eliminate pain or sorrow in their neighbor. They can’t see it because they are just too concerned about self. Because they are blind, they can’t be used as a vehicle for our Lord to bestow upon His faithful children the blessed assurance of His “true” justice.
Regardless of the perversion of man’s righteousness, the true judgments of our Lord are as David concluded in v. 9, “righteous altogether”. David used the word, “tsadaq”, which means, “to be or make right”. And, make everything right He most certainly does, and will—as Paul said in 8: 28 of Romans, “All things work together for good, for them who love the Lord, to them that are called according to His purpose”.
For the word, “altogether”, David used, “yachad”, which means, “united, a unit, or withal”. It is from a prime root word that means “to be or become one; join or unite”. In this unity, I am reminded of the words of Paul to the Ephesians in 4: 3. He said, “Endeavor to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace”. And, it is David in 133: 1 of the Psalms that said, “Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
As there is unity in all of His law, as there is unity in the Godhead, there needs to be unity in Spirit among His bride. This is the only way to give Spirit led honor, from the heart, to the gloriously encouraging true judgments of our Adonai, and be “righteous altogether” in Him.
