Summer Road Trip ‘08
Day Seven: Psalm 7:10-11

“God is my shield, saving those whose hearts are true and right. God is a judge who is perfectly fair.”

While sitting behind the wheel watching the scenery pass by it’s easy for me to begin to make judgment calls on what’s happening outside my own life. I like to feel in charge and part of being in charge is getting to pass judgment on God’s judgments. I don’t always approve of how God is handling either the situations or the people around me. Why is it that the ones I believe are “good” are facing the toughest circumstances? Why do the mean people tend to get away with their meanness?

I must constantly remind myself that “God is a judge who is perfectly fair.” (vs.11) Truth is, I’m not sitting is the best position to be a fair observer. I don’t see enough or know enough to make a good enough judgment.

When life seems unfair I must remember that God is always fair.

When I’m spending too much time telling God that He’s not quick enough to deal with others' sins, I must remind myself that God sees, God know, and God is dealing with them whether I “see it or not”.

“I’m thankful the Lord is just” (vs.17)

Enjoying the Journey!
