Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientific minds in history, looked at the cosmos and saw not just order—but design.
In Principia Mathematica (1713), he wrote:
“This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”
Newton saw the universe as a masterpiece, a reflection of a Creator at work.

Justice is a big deal to God.
In fact, God had a warning for people who thought just doing “religious” acts would give them a free ride to heaven.
“He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8 (ESV)
To do justice.
God requires it of people who want to please him.
Before the people of Israel entered the Promised Land, God gave them specific instructions on how to live. One of the areas God emphasized was justice.
“You shall appoint judges … and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment. You shall not pervert justice. You shall not show partiality, and you shall not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and subverts the cause of the righteous. Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Deuteronomy 16:18-20 (ESV)
While these commands were given to Israel, the principles of impartial justice remain critical for any society that seeks righteousness.
In case you haven’t noticed, “justice” seems to be in short supply in our world today.
How often have you heard a news story that talked about Clinton judges, or Bush judges, or Obama judges, or Trump judges, or Biden judges?
If the goal is “justice, only justice,” what difference does it make who appointed the judge?
The fact that prosecutors often “judge shop” — seeking a judge likely to favor their case — proves how easy it is to identify partiality in our legal system.
This suggests that, in many cases, justice is no longer the goal of our legal system.
Consider the warning God gave to the people of Israel.
“Justice, and only justice, you shall follow, that you may live and inherit the land that the Lord your God is giving you.”
Deuteronomy 16:20 (ESV)
Will God let us live in the land He has given us if we choose to pervert justice?
Pray that God will move the hearts of the judges in our nation to do justice and only justice.
But justice isn’t just the responsibility of judges. It starts with us. Will we be people who do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God?
Before I go, I’d like to share a blessing with you from the Old Testament.
“May the Lord bless and protect you; may the Lord’s face radiate with joy because of you; may he be gracious to you, show you his favor, and give you his peace.”
Numbers 6:24-26 (The Living Bible)
Until next time … be the reason someone smiles today

Groucho Marx, an American comedian and social critic known for his sharp wit and humor, often made satirical comments about politics, society, and human nature.
This quote is one of his famous quips on the subject of politics.
“Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.”
Groucho Marx
Does that sound like a description of the politics we see today?
Marx lived from October 2, 1890, to August 19, 1977. He was a prominent figure in comedy, particularly through his work with his brothers in the Marx Brothers comedy troupe, which gained fame in vaudeville, film, and television.

Welcome to Episode 15 of my podcast series, Don’t Play With Things That Go Boom!
I’ll share some of the lessons I learned during my time serving in the Army in Vietnam. Join me as I recount my story of being on guard duty at a remote firebase, and my encounter with the Commanding General of the Americal Division.
Through these experiences, I hope to provide a unique perspective on the realities of military life during a challenging time in American history. Join me on this journey as we delve into the lessons I learned — or should have learned — and how they continue to shape my life today.
Thank you for tuning in and joining me on this journey.
