"A Holy Judgment" -2

"And the heavens shall declare His righteousness: for God is judge Himself. Selah." (Psalms 50:6) After taking a moment to think about it (actually a day), I have come to the conclusion that God has every right to judge any way that He feels that we should be judged; after all, He is our Maker! I think sometimes we forget that, not that we don't realize it is so, but that we some how may have some sort of moment where we think that we have made what we are, as in, "Look what I have done for myself", kind of moment. That did not work out so well for Nebuchadnezzar (Daniel 4:29-33), and it will not work well with any of us either. God has set everything in motion, and He keeps it in motion; He has given us the breath of life, and He keeps us alive with our breathing; when the motion stops, the world will also; when our breathing stops, so will this life. When it comes right down to it, God has every right to do whatever He wants to do, and we have no reason to complain about anything; why? Because God has placed all of our punishment upon Himself!!! Talk about "Righteousness", that the Maker would lay down His life for the children that He has made, there is no greater display of "Righteousness"; that truly adds a little more punch to John 3:17 & 18, since He is the Judge and the Executioner, yet at the same time, He is the Redeemer and the Deliverer! All of the false religions in this world all have one thing in common, they all point to what man can do for himself, as if the power to save is within us; nothing could be farther from the truth, because only the "Righteousness" of God can save us from His holy judgment; anything that we do is like pouring coals on the fire, because it is like snubbing our nose up to God's redemption that He has provided. Think about the choice to be made: will I choose to be judged by my righteousness or by God's righteousness? If man were the judge, then maybe there would be something to consider, but the judge is not man, it is God; and God is going to judge us based upon His Righteousness and whether or not we have received it... "The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Thou hast multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy: they joy before thee according to the joy in harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoil. For thou hast broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Midian. For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." (Isaiah 9:2-7)
