*WISDOM FOR TODAY.*
*OUT NUMBERED OR OUT ORGANIZED.(10)*
*Scripture Treasure.*
Deuteronomy 33:27 *The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.*
*Insight and Highlight.*
The confidence we have in God is that He judges in righteousness, and He destroys our enemies because of the mercy He has for us, ref Ps 136.
*Scripture Commentaries.*
There is not a better organized battle than that which God takes full charge of as the judge, jury, and prosecutor.
God has a perfect 'court' system.
Paul, in 2 Cor 5:10 says there is a judgment seat of Christ where believers will be judged,
1 Cor 3:13 - 3:15.
John tells us about the Great White Throne Judgment. Thus will be a judgment of all people who have rejected Jesus, Rev 20:11 - 15.
Jesus is Judge, John 5:22, 2 Tim 4:1.
Jesus is the advocate. The mediator between God and man, 1 John 2:1.
He is in the Holy Spirit who testifies, Rom 8:16.
God in Christ will ultimately deliver the judgment in the battle of Gog and Magog
at the Armageddon at the end of age, Rev 20:7-15
God is complete both in an organized army and unleashing judgment.
He brings your enemies to trial, testifies against them, and punishes them in judgment.
While this description, the judge, jury, and prosecutor, is often used to describe people who judge unfairly, the description describes God as the One with complete and absolute authority over any people or situations.
God alone has the power to decide whether someone is guilty or innocent, the power to determine the appropriate punishment, and carry out that punishment. God essentially acts as all three parts of a legal system in one entity; implying that no human authority has the right to judge others in the same way God does.
God is both unquestionable and unsearchable.
Paul says *"O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out! Rom 11:33.
*For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counseller?*, Rom 11:34.
Psalms 9:8 says *And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness.*
We can be sure that our enemies can not be cleared or acquitted before God.
While there is no condemnation for the believer Rom 8:1, unbelievers are condemned already, John 3:18
Ps 75:7 says *But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another.”*
Isaiah 33:22 tells us that He rules in judgment to save us *For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; he will save us.*
If God is judge, Jesus is our advocate, and the Holy Spirit bears witness, then the roles are complete as the judge, jury, and prosecutor.
Anyone against the child of God is guilty before God. The child of God may be troubled or disorganized by terror, but his God is too organized to be disorganized or outnumbered.
*Remorse corner.*
Who is your defender and avenger?.
The everlasting arms of God underneath tell us that God is at the foundation of everything. When He thrusts with His everlasting arms, He uproots the enemies.
*Call to Word action.*
Any organized courtroom must have the supreme judge, the prosecutor, and the jury.
While the prosecutor and the advocate face one another, the judge and the jury listen, they often misjudge. However, in the Kingdom's jurisdiction, the judge knows the heart of man, He needs no arguments
Romans 7:12 *Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.*
He prosecuted the persecutor
*The Christian clarion duty.*
Who is your strength and refuge?
The strength of any building is its foundation.
Your foundation can not be destroyed if He has His everlasting arms beneath to uproot your enemies.
*Prayer.*
Lord, help me to rebuild my foundation. Organize my life by having Your everlasting arms beneath me to uproot my enemies in Jesus name.
Good morning all, and have a blessed day.
God bless you.
