12/12/13 Psalms 9:8 God Judges the World in Righteousness

Psalms 9:8 (NAS)

And He will judge the world in righteousness; He will execute judgment for the peoples with equity.

  Psalms 9:8 (NIVUS)

He will judge the world in righteousness; he will govern the peoples with justice.

  
Just driving across town today reveals how many people do not obey the laws of the land. Selfishness and increasing lawlessness is becoming normal. From the Garden of Eden men have been making laws or breaking laws for themselves.
 
However, there is only one absolute Law-maker and Judge.  The Lord Jehovah is the One who judges with absolute Truth and governs with equity. Because there is no sin or unrighteousness in Him, you can trust His ruler-ship in your life.  He vindicates those who need vindication and punishes those who are guilty.
 
If someone should enter into controversy with you, you should plead your case before the Most High. He is your attorney, but He is also your Judge. He has the power to condemn and punish, but He also has the power to save and acquit. You can be sure that His decisions are always right. He is the One who gives you deliverance, victory and prosperity. He is your Savior, Redeemer, Messiah, and King.
 
Therefore, when someone wants to quarrel and strive with you, let God contend with them.  He is your Lord and Master and He will make everything smooth and level. He sets you on a straight and pleasing path. God approves of you and makes your life agreeable.
