Psalms 97:2
“Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.”
What does Psalms 97:2 mean?
God's majesty is so overwhelming that it's wrapped in mystery, like storm clouds that hide what lies beneath them. Yet even in that hiddenness, there's something solid we can count on: God's character itself, his righteousness and justice, forms the bedrock of everything he does and decides. This means that when we can't see clearly or understand why something is happening, we're still safe because the one ruling the universe operates from a foundation of what is right and fair. It's comfort for anyone struggling in confusion, knowing that God's actions, however mysterious they appear to us, flow from his commitment to justice.
