"Justice Rendered"

"I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the Most High." (Psalms 82:6) It might be just a slight overreach, but just because a person has power, does not mean that they are above the law. When did we surrender over to man's rule? Seriously! Laws are being determined and written based upon what man feels is good or bad, not what God says; never mind the Constitution or what ever other form of documents a nation was founded on, God's laws are still relevant, so why are we not governed by them? I will tell you why: Because no one in power wants to submit to power! There really needs to be a wake-up call to the powers that be, because God is still on the Throne, and I am beginning to think He is getting ready to slam the hammer down. Here is what I think needs to take place, much like the Book of Nehemiah, we need leaders that lead people back to following God! Leaders that call it like it is, sin is sin, wrong is wrong, bad is bad; there has got to be something else that divides us other than race and wealth. If you notice something about Nehemiah 8:8, the reading of the law was read clearly and distinctly; in other words, they did not pick and choose what they read, but read to make the people understand the whole context of the law. That's what wrong in our churches today, picking and choosing what parts of God's Word will be shared with the people. We must present the whole counsel of God, both the good and the bad, the parts that make us feel good, as well as those that make us feel dirty...
"They read from the Book of the Law of God and clearly explained the meaning of what was being read, helping the people understand each passage. Then Nehemiah the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were interpreting for the people said to them, "Don't mourn or weep on such a day as this! For today is a sacred day before the LORD your God." For the people had all been weeping as they listened to the words of the Law. And Nehemiah continued, "Go and celebrate with a feast of rich foods and sweet drinks, and share gifts of food with people who have nothing prepared. This is a sacred day before our Lord. Don't be dejected or sad, for the joy of the LORD is your strength!" And the Levites too, quieted the people, telling them, "Hush! Don't weep! For this is a sacred day." So the people went away to eat and drink at a festive meal, to share gifts of food, and to celebrate with great joy because they had heard God's words and understood them. On October 9 the family leaders of all the people, together with the priests and Levites, met with Ezra the scribe to go over the Law in greater detail." (Nehemiah 8:8-13) NLT
