Psalm 9:7-8 (NLT) 7But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne. 8He will judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness.
Earthly justice of humans is not always just. Judges come and go; they do not last. Nations rise and fall; they do not last; nor are they always fair. But the LORD reigns forever. Once again consulting the old worn 1965 Websters on my desk, I take comfort in knowing that when I read the LORD reigns forever; I know His rule will prevail—always. The LORD is just. The LORD is fair. After earthly time is no more; the LORD will still reign.
Gracious Heavenly Father,
We are often impatient and complaining people. Our human tendency is to focus on the bad, the unjust, and the unfair. Forgive us, Lord. Remind us that You are fair and just and You hold all things in your hand. Earthly judges and nations will come and go; but You will reign forever. Teach us to trust in You and your timing.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
