Psalm 58 - it’s so natural and easy to want to take judgment into my own hands when someone has done me wrong, or has hurt me in any way. I want them to feel pain and suffering in the moment to somehow make myself feel better, the lord is a righteous judge. I heard a phrase “ I judge people by the results of their actions, but i want to be judged by my intentions” my perception is skewed. Faith mean allowing the lord to step in and judge righteously, each person, according to what they’ve done. Lord give me the faith and patience to allow you to be the judge.
John 6 - a young boy shows up with 5 small loaves and 2 fish, a sack lunch. He was bold enough to offer it up, he must’ve also known that Jesus can use anything, as long as you’re an available, and obedient. This boy shows a level of generosity that’s admirable. Who knows how far he traveled, but this was his food for the journey and he was willing to share it with 5000. The lord multiplies offerings and fills everyone up to the point of overflow. I’ve not been as generous financially as my business has been a bit slower lately. If god can (and will) multiply what o sow, who an into hoard it? I am a man of stewardship and generosity.
Judges 9 - this passage shows a result of favoritism, selfishness and greed as the people elect and install an undeserving man to rule over them rather than being loyal to the family line of men that had gotten them to the position of success they were living in. Abimelek plundered, mass murdered, and showed No mercy to anyone who opposed him, and it ended up being his downfall. I’ve done this before, I’ve used a position of power or leadership and shown favor to one person over another because of a personal relationship. The lord detests dishonest scales and does not show favoritism and neither should I. I am a man of honesty and integrity.
