DAILY REFLECTION - BY DR. TAN TEK SENG
20 May 2025

“The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭33‬:‭5‬ ‭

God's love reaches every corner of creation, offering hope and redemption even in the midst of hardship. His love embraces all of humanity and the natural world.

Reinhold Niebuhr was an American Reformed theologian, ethicist, commentator on politics and public affairs, and professor at Union Theological Seminary for more than 30 years. He was one of America's leading public intellectuals who shaped 20th-century thought with his Christian realism. He emphasised justice and righteousness while acknowledging human imperfection. 

 Though sin and the pursuit of power can distort even noble efforts to create a just society, he urged active engagement in the fight for justice. He believed God’s love and mercy weren’t passive but served as a driving force, inspiring perseverance even in the face of obstacles. His view of Christian realism mirrors the message of Psalms 33:5, affirming God’s justice, human imperfection, and His steadfast love leading creation toward righteousness.  

Psalms 33:5 beautifully affirms God’s steadfast commitment to justice and His limitless love for creation. It calls us to embrace His moral truth while trusting in His abundant grace.

“The more we humble ourselves before God, the more grace He pours into our lives."
