"God is The Judge!"

"Do ye indeed speak righteousness, O congregation? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?" (Psalms 58:1) I thought of using the NLT version for that closing Scripture yesterday, but the King James was really better; some old habits are just hard to break; speaking of which, do you realize how many times a day that you judge people? I mean really, I tried to count the number of times that I judged people yesterday, and I lost count! How do we even think that we are capable of judging others, when we can't even rightly judge ourselves? It's like Rocket in the movie Guardians of the Galaxy; when he first appears in the movie, he is judging everyone he looks at, as if he knows everything about them; even the small child, he judges as if it were a grown man. We look at the exterior of the person, but God judges the heart (1 Samuel 16:7); which is something that only He can do, because we can't even fully understand our own hearts, let alone try and see the heart of another (Jeremiah 17:9). Obviously this verse is speaking to believers, which we can see by the address to the "congregation"; which should cause us to pay particular attention, based upon the fact that the definition of this word is "silent", as odd as that might come across. But if you get right down to it, when it comes to judging others, that is what you should hear coming from the congregation of believers; don't you think? Like, what ever happen to, "Judge not, that ye be not judged"? (Matthew 7:1) The word is simply asking a question, one that is based upon those who should otherwise understand their own need for God's grace and mercy, saying, "Do ye indeed speak out the silence of justice?" or "Do ye indeed use justice which seems to be silent and mute in your decrees?" You can get the sense of a big setup coming to remind us of who we really are, because without Jesus Christ, each and every one of us are nothing more that just plain wicked. Now that I think of it, we are still all pretty wicked, or can be, at least towards one another; but isn't that why we should not judge? I mean, if you have something that you can be judged for, then you should remain silent when it comes to judging others; and if you think that you can judge because you have nothing to be judged for, then your judgment is silent and meaningless. Only God can judge rightly, because only God is perfect...  "And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: and the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD. And he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins." (Isaiah 11:1-5)
