19Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Righteous Judgement
“God knew the importance of just judges and officials to a nation. Therefore, God commanded that they shall not pervert justice... nor show partiality... nor take a bribe; instead, they were to follow what is altogether just. A judge has the responsibility to do justice.” (Guzik)
Unfortunately we no longer have righteous judgement in our country. It appears we have a two tier justice system.
But does it surprise you? We removed God from every aspect of our government and our government is forcing different gods upon its citizens.
The righteous judgement that judges are supposed to have when upholding our laws is becoming the righteous judgement of God upon our country because we have become a people consumed with false gods.
All you need to do is a Bible study on the Israelites when they worshiped false gods to understand what our outcome will be!
What is your god?
Blessings
