God Loves Justice

 Jesus is known as the Son of God and we the people are known as the sons of men, and we are asked to judge uprightly in the earth! (Psalm 58:1,2)Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men? Yea, in heart ye work wickedness, ye weight the violence of your hands in the earth.

 It is those who want no just ruling within their lives who say your not suppose to judge when scripture plainly tells us we need it for to keep peace within the land..(Psalm 37:27-30) Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore. For the Lord loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever. The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment

 To do righteous judgment is never popular, but as Christians we are to abide by what the will of God is and his Son never hesitated to carry that out as we see how the Pharisees reacted when he healed a man who was born blind! They were not happy and did not like this righteous act. Jesus then goes on to tell them it was for judgment he was sent!  (John 9:32-39) Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing. They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out. Jesus heard that they had cast him out: and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? And he answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe, and he worshipped him. And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind

 Deborah was a judge over Israel after Ehud had died, but not before he led the children of Israel of the battle which slew ten thousand men of Moab and brought peace to the land for forty years!(Judges 3:26-30) And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and passed beyond the quarries, and escaped unto Se-i’-rath. And it came to pass, when he was come, that he blew a trumpet in the mountain of E’-phra-im, and the children of Israel went down with him from the mount, and he before them. And he said unto them, Follow after me: for the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites into your hand. And they went down after him, and took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and suffered not a man to pass over. And they slew of Moab at that time about ten thousand men, all lusty, and all men of valour; and there escaped not a man. So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest fourscore years.

 Deborah was also known as a prophetess who was chosen and the people went to her for sound judgment. We find in the song of Deborah that the people are to speak judgment as the people once again had chosen new god’s over themselves! (Judges 4:4….5:7-10) And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lap-i-doth, she judged Israel at that time. The inhabitants of the villages ceased, they ceased in Israel, until that Deborah arose that I arose a mother in Israel. They chose new gods; then was war in the gates: was there a shield or spear seen among forty thousand in Israel? My heart is toward the government of Israel, that offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless ye the Lord. Speak, ye that ride on white asses, ye that sit in judgment, and walk by the way.

 When the queen of Sheba went to ask Solomon hard questions due to the wisdom she knew was within him, she even told him blessed is the Lord God who gave him wisdom to do judgment and justice (1 Kings 10:1-9).

  1. There can be no peace without righteousness and righteousness by its very nature requires judgment.

    “…for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.”
    Isaiah 26:9

    Appreciate the share (as always).
