Philippians 4:8 (English Standard Version)

 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

I have been thinking about what is just.

1 Corinthians 10:28

But if someone says to you, “This has been offered in sacrifice,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for the sake of conscience—

While Paul is referring to food here we are consumers of information. It is just that, information.

If we believe that a well informed electorate is required to make a just decision on election day, then the source of the information feeds our conscience.

Are we being fed lies?

For the sake of the one who informs us and for our good conscience, rely on the Spirit of Truth to sort out what is just, honorable and true.

The flesh always reacts with baser instincts. The actions of some are just that, void of truth.

Romans 16:25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages

God created man to be curious. Who doesn’t like a good mystery?

Ephesians 1:9 making known to us the mystery of his will, according to his purpose, which he set forth in Christ

God’s will is not something He wishes to keep secret from us. He showed us that in the life of Christ. That is no great mystery.

Somehow if we do not exactly understand God’s will for our own lives, it seems to be a mystery.

Is His will the great mystery to be solved?

Colossians 1:27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Have we discovered Christ in us?

Solve that mystery and He answers all our questions.
