Judgment Part 2

 

    Judgment belongs to God.  We all make judgments every day, but we need to keep ourselves in check.  We don't want to try to take God's job.  We would not be good at it and it would just be too much.  We just need to concentrate on obey the orders that He gives us, no matter how uncomfortable they may make you because it could always be worse.

    When God cast judgment on a person it can come in the form of removal of supplies or support.  There are many formats of judgment, but the judgment to get us to be aware of our sin it is normally removal of something that we may feel like we can't live without.  It is kind of like when a parent takes their child's phone from them.

    When a person ignores the first warning of judgment, then the consequences could be personal humiliation.  It is no longer private.  You secrets may come to the knowledge of several people, especially those that you don't want to know.  The experienced leader could be replaced by a young and unstable leader who will oppress the people.  The values of the world turn upside down cause strife and discord.

    A leader may not have answers as the world falls apart, but they will be held accountable for their people.  They will be responsible.  A bad national leader can cause a nation to fall.  It is normally bad leader followed by bad leaders, but it eventually causes the people to suffer.  The sins of the nations testify against them.

    One day your sins will be exposed.  Wouldn't you rather have it on your terms with a humble heart?  Be open and honest before judgment comes.  The righteous will see good and the wicked will find disaster.  In the wicked society the youth oppress and the wicked women rule.  Woe to the wicked.  

    Be careful to stay on God's path.  Do not harm the poor.  Do not be haughty, flirty, superior, flashy, or manipulative.  Your world is not all about you.  If you make everything about you, then God will get angry.  What you do should represent Him, so if you steal from Him, then your world will become very uncomfortable.
