This is the last lesson of 2022! We start our Christmas break today, and we are out of school for two weeks! Lord, you are so amazing…when we return from break, we will begin our 3rd year of lessons! Lord, thank you! God willing, we will resume our lessons on January 9, 2023. To God be the glory!!!
In this song of praise, Asaph challenges judges to be fair in their judgments. Here’s the psalm in its entirety: “God presides over heaven’s court; he pronounces judgment on the judges: “How long will you judges hand down unjust decisions? How long will you shower special favors on the wicked?
“Give fair judgment to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people. But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! And because they are in darkness, the whole world is shaken to the core. I say, ‘You are gods and children of the Most High. But in death you are mere men. You will fall as any prince, for all must die.’”
Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.” (Psalm 82)
Lord, thank you for your Word today! Though we may not be in a position of authority over others, we all find a way to judge. Help us, Lord, be fair in our judgment. For as your Word states, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone….” (John 8:7) Lord, we love you!
May the Lord bless you and protect you. May the Lord smile on you and be gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
….AND MAY WE ALL PRACTICE THIS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
