Arise, O Lord, in your anger; lift yourself up against the fury of my enemies; awake for me; you have appointed a judgment. Psalm 7:6 – We see within the intro of this psalm that David is in agony over the words being said about him by a man named Cush from the tribe of Benjamin. While commentators have speculations on who this is and the incident from scripture this is referring to, we don’t know exactly the details surrounding this situation. We know though that whatever Cush said about David was tearing David apart and if help from the Lord didn’t come then David was done for. David now pleads to the Lord to take His seat on the throne of judgment over this situation. David invited God to look at his life completely, then look at this sinful situation, and act justly against the sin He saw. While such a request from David is holy and good, I can’t help but wonder how many of us would back away from such a request of the Lord. Where we may be struggling in life and wanting help, but we wouldn’t ask the Lord to do what David asked the Lord to do. We’re not asking the Lord to take His seat on the throne of judgment and then look at every detail of our life. We have stuff in our life right now that we’d rather the Lord not see and we’re content not dealing with the consequences of God’s judgment on our sin. If then we’d find ourselves fearful of having God take the judgement seat over our life…then are we really living for the Lord like we ought to? Let us today examine why we may fear the Lord looking at our whole life and even ask the Lord to reveal to us the sin that He wants out of our life. As a follower of Jesus, we should never live a life that seeks to keep things in the shadows from Jesus. Live holy and God’s judgement will not be something we fear but welcome. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2962
