Psalm 17:2
2 Let my sentence [mishpat] come forth [yatsa'] from
thy presence; [paniym] let thine eyes [`ayin] behold [chazah] the things
that are equal. [meyshar] KJV-Interlinear
2 Let
my judgment come forth from Thy presence; Let Thine eyes look with equity. NASB
Judgment, ‘mishpat,’
means a decision by a judge.
In this world, justice is
far from equitable and fair. People fall
to bias, intimidation, prejudice, gossip and worse.
Life is just not fair in
this world. People are not fair. And to leave ones life in the hands of people,
places ones life in the hands of the whims of society. Didn’t people get accused of being
witches? Didn’t people get accused of
being the cause of problems in society?
Didn’t people get sent to extermination camps, starved, persecuted and
so forth throughout history? Aren’t
people the victims of crime? And what of
taxes. Has anyone ever seen a fair tax
for all?
Life is full of
burdens. Life is full of burdens that are
government related, socially related, as well as physically and mentally
related. Life has burdens coming from all
directions at one time or another throughout your life.
So, leaving yourself open
to the ‘fairness’ of the world, which is not fairness at all, is not a logical
approach to life. But that is exactly
what people do when they reject or ignore or invent their own deity.
God, is the only fair and
just decision maker. He knows all of the
facts, all of the details of history, and bases His decisions on truth, which
includes salvation, spiritual growth, your life, and how they all fit into His
divine plan, and your destiny.
In order to get the
fairest treatment of your life, God must be the one and only judge.
You still have to live in
this world. It is the devils world. And you still have to deal with life in
this world. But your life, and certainly
your destiny into the next life are not determined by this world, nor anyone in
it. That sovereignty belongs to God and
to God alone.
So, in order to guarantee
for yourself the fairest and best treatment for the big picture of your life,
you must look to God, and live in accordance with His rules, not your
rules. Because ignoring God in your life
is the biggest mistake you will ever make, and the repercussions will be the
worst possible, which by the way, are all due to your own decisions in ignoring
God.
