You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality. You shall not take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise, and perverts the words of the righteous.

Deuteronomy 16:19 World English Bible

Reflection

When legal standards waver or apply unevenly, public confidence breaks down and vulnerable people often suffer the greatest harm. Equal treatment before the law safeguards integrity within legal systems and ensures every individual receives impartial consideration. Ask God to grant judges, prosecutors, and lawmakers steadfast commitment to fairness. Request that truth and equity remain the standard across all legal proceedings, protecting everyone from bias or undue influence.

Prayer

Pray for the upholding of justice in Canada, in keeping with the call in Deuteronomy 16:19 not to pervert justice or show partiality, that one law would be applied fairly to all.
