Psalm 82
A Bible Devotion from Psalm 82
1 God stands in the congregation of the mighty; He judges among the gods. 2 How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for You shall inherit all nations.
My 7th grade son has just finished studying Hammurabi, the ruler of Babylon. He is attributed as being the 1st ruler to have written laws. He felt, however, that possessions were more important than anything else including people. Therefore, the final determining factor in who won or lost the case was often based on how rich or poor the accused and accuser were.
That may be a weakness of man, but God does not suffer from such prejudicial tendencies. God will judge the earth; He will inherit all nations. In the end, all nations will know who God is and will bow the knee to Him. The justice meted out that day will be perfect.
For the true Christian the final judgment will be a victorious day; but, for those who have rebelled against God, it will be a terrible day.
Pray today for true faith in Christ; pray also for those around you who are not Christians that God would shine the light of His Gospel upon them.
