God will judge all

Day 170: Psalms 50:4-6

            Psalm 50:4 He shall call to the heavens from above, And to the earth, that He may judge His people: 5“Gather My saints together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.” 6Let the heavens declare His righteousness, For God Himself is Judge. Selah.

            II Corinthians 5:10 says For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Lord, all men will appear before You and Your Son, beginning with believers. Our only hope is in the name of Jesus and His blood shed for our sin. It is to You and Your Son that we must give an account. Hebrews 4:13 says And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

            All the heavens will give testimony to the Lord’s righteousness and justice to men, especially to His children. They will give testimony of God’s work in creation and the salvation of His people through the sacrifice of His Son. All men and nations, angels and powers will see the justice and mercy of the Triune God. For those who have spoken of repentance and humility and faith but have not truly walked in His ways, there will be judgment.

            Talking about religion and faith is cheap. It must be backed up with action. Lord, help our actions, back up our words. Help us live out our faith. Help us not only have head knowledge, but also heart knowledge and personal experience of a living faith. Help us have true faith and true compassion that comes from a heart transformed by You. Only You can judge our hearts. We rely on Christ alone to save us! Amen!

Jesus Christ brought me to Himself at a very early age. I began seeking the Lord and writing prayer journals in my early teens and have continued to grow in my knowledge and experience of prayer. I am still learning and growing in my prayer life and long to help others grow in their prayer lives as well. I am not an expert, but a practitioner who needs God to continue to teach me to pray. Prayer is both simple, yet also profound. It is deep and draws us into the depth of God, but it is also so easy and wondrous that we can cry out to God with "Abba, Father" prayers because of the work of Jesus Christ and His Holy Spirit. Prayer comes from God's heart, works in our hearts, and teaches us to go back to seek God's heart!
