let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples with equity.
Paul talked about judgment too. He was warning the Christians about judging other people. We don't judge others as God does. We lack righteousness. We can't give true equity, because our judgment is clouded by self-interest.
This passage has a lot to say about us. Our place to to praise and worship God and to serve others. Instead we try to do God's job through judgment. What are we thinking? We should just do our part and leave the rest to God.
Prayer: Lord, stop my slide into judgment. Help me to know when I am moving from observations to judgments. Instead guide me to praise Your mighty power. You are the only judge I need.
Amen
