God Shot
God is the righteous Judge who weighs hearts and cannot be deceived (Proverbs 21:2). He delights in justice and uprightness more than outward sacrifice (Proverbs 21:3), and He sovereignly directs even the steps of the powerful (Proverbs 21:1). This is a God who is never manipulated, never passive—He is active, discerning, and just in all His ways.
