Judge with Equity
Psalms 98:7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.
Psalms 98:8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together
Psalms 98:9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
We know that judgement is coming, but have we considered the fact that God is coming with a set of scales to weigh out the equity of our investment into His kingdom.
The fact that we are reading His word increases equity within us. However, if the water of life comes into our lives and there is no outlet, then that water becomes stale with no life in it.
God’s design for our lives is equitable, in that, what goes in must come out.
Let us freely share what God has given us, so that He may judge us with equity.
(According to the Oxford Dictionary, the word equity can mean
- Fairness
- Value
For the sake of this illustration the latter definition was chosen)
