Psalms 145:17

King James Version (1769)

17 The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy in all his works.
Untruth

A common misinterpretation twists this verse to suggest God never permits suffering or injustice, implying believers should never experience hardship, which ignores the Bible's broader testimony of trials refining faith. Another error assumes it means every event, including human sin or evil, is directly God's 'work,' overlooking human free will and the distinction between God's sovereign permission and active causation, potentially leading to fatalism or excusing wrongdoing.

Truth

This verse proclaims the perfect righteousness and holiness of God in every aspect of His character and actions, assuring believers that He operates with absolute justice and purity. It underscores that no matter how circumstances appear, God's ways align flawlessly with His moral perfection, providing comfort amid life's uncertainties by affirming His trustworthiness and the ultimate goodness of His governance over creation.
