Psalm 37:6

"He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
and your justice as the noonday."

Righteousness: the right, equity, just
Light: bright, clear, morning, sun
Justice: verdict, judgment, decree
Noonday: double light

This verse implies that one has been falsely accused. In

Matthew Henry's Commentary, he says the righteousness and

judgment of good people may, for a time be clouded either

by rebukes of Providence (see Job) or the malicious acts

of men who give others bad names, which they no way deserve.

When that happens God promises to "clear your name" and

restore your reputation. Not only will He bring the right

to light, He will bring it to double-light. Noonday in

this verse literally means double-light. God will, in His

time, show your right-standing with Him.


I think everyone is effected by false perceptions or is

falsely accused of something at some time in their lives.

As children we are often blamed for the actions of a sibling.

Sometimes we are set-up. Sometimes we are just in the wrong

place at the wrong time. If a teacher or an employer only

sees or hears part of the story, they may accuse the wrong

person. Sometimes deliberate lies are told about us by

someone who doesn't like us or wants to use us to get ahead.


Our next door neighbor was falsely accused of sexual misconduct

toward one of his third grade students. It took years for him to

get his name cleared and be able to return to teaching. Even

though, legally, he was declared innocent, he is still perceived

to be guilty by some. Wrong perceptions are nearly impossible to

change. We can be most grateful that the only one that counts is

the perception that the LORD has of us. Romans 5:8 says

"But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us"

Because of the shed blood of Jesus, He sees us white as snow.
