Ps 58:11
So that
a man shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: verily he is a God
that judgeth in the earth.
Most of us
are well aware that God will judge in the heavens. We consider the Great White Throne Judgment
as well as the Bema Seat where our God has every right to judge those outside
of Christ and those in Him. He will
judge those who stand in their own righteousness and unfit to enter into His
kingdom and those who are clothed in Christ’s righteousness, judgment will be
given based on faithfulness resulting in placement within His kingdom. This verse reminds us that our God not only
will judge then, but currently judges here, on this earth. This means that His law is in place and He
will uphold His law and deal with those who disregard or refuse to obey. God is not mocked. When any of us, believer or non-believer acts
in contrast to His law, judgment will be experienced in one way or another
because He is the judge of the earth. We
may escape an eternal judgment. We may
experience His mercy within that judgment here, but He is actively involved in
the matters of our day to day lives here on this earth. If you believe you have been wronged, the
Lord will judge. You forgive. Let Him do the legal end of things. If you have done wrong, apologize to the
person and approach the judge, knowing He judges righteously and with mercy!
