The Wise Judge
“Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?” Job 21:22
In the book “Dream with Me”, John M. Perkins writes about true justice: “For decades I’ve tried to meet people where they hurt. I’ve preached and desired to see “justice for all,” and I still fervently believe in it. God loves justice and wants His people to seek justice. As seen in Psalms 11 and Micah 6:8. But I’ve come to understand that true justice is wrapped up in love. The old-time preacher – A. W. Tozer had a way of making the most profound truths simple and palatable. He once said, “God is love, and just as God is love, God is justice.” That’s it! God’s love and justice come together in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and we can’t be about one and not the other. They’re inextricably connected.”
In our relationship with God, He is our teacher and judge.
Praise the Lord for His wisdom in administering justice and mercy.
“I will govern my life and my thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and to read the other. For what does it signify to make anything a secret to neighbor, when to God, who is the Searcher of hearts, all our privacies are open?” – Seneca
“But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.” Psalm 75:7
