THE LORD ACTS JUSTLY
Bible Text: Psalm 146
RBT Passage: Judges 9-10
“The LORD watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow, but he frustrates the ways of the wicked” – Psalm 146:9, NIV
King Solomon was the wisest king during and after his generation. One of his great exploits was his judgment over the two women who were fighting over a dead son and a living son. While sleeping, one woman rolled over her son and suffocated him to death. When they appeared before the king, he showed great wisdom by which the true mother of the living baby was identified, even though there was no technology to determine the DNA at the time.
God is the source of wisdom. Everything lays bare before Him. He knows the right and all His doings are right. To this end, the psalmist declares, ‘Blessed are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God’ (Psalm 146:5). There is no corruption in God and He does not think evil. He cares for the strangers and people who are helpless. He is concerned with all the concerns of the widow and the fatherless; He is their friend. But God is against the wicked; He frustrates their plans to fulfill His own purpose.
To whom will you go for anything? You can only go to Him who is good in every way.
