Proverbs 29:26 – Many seek the ruler's favor; But a man's judgment cometh from the Lord.

Often times, injustice happens in our lives. Many times, we seek to find ‘justice’ with our own understanding and ways.

I remembered the TV show Judge Judy. There is many other TV show Judges that have appeared in our TV screen over the years. The one thing that I always remember is that whenever there are lawsuits between two parties, usually one side wins and the other side is not happy, or the case is dismissed and one party would be happy and the other is not happy or both will be unhappy. However, justice is served – a justice that points one party as right and another as wrong, however, deep inside, one might still be in bondage of hatred and revenge.

As I was reading this, I remembered that the highest of all the judges is God. He is one that is fair and just. Every single one of his decision, makes both side feel at peace, and restored. I remembered when Jesus were with that prostitute that were going to be stoned, and how he handled the situation so well, that those who were condemning and trying to trap Jesus, were rebuked, and the prostitute were given a chance to be restored.

Often times, the justice we seek is impartial and always imperfect. The only perfect judge that would resolve any injustice well is Jesus. Whenever, we are in that state where we felt that injustice were done to us, we need to keep in mind that God will judge equally and justly in due time. All of this, God has done, so that we can do one thing.

So that we can learn and be able to forgive others. The most important for God is to restore us daily, and not let Satan takes away the fullness of life that had been promised to us.

Who do we need to forgive, today?
