All of us to whom the Lord has opened our eyes to the spiritual battles going on around us can see that there is clear good and evil in this world. In the truest sense of the word, “good” is only applicable to those who are with the Lord… truly the Lord Himself, but through the Spirit indwelling us and through the cleansing and forgiveness of sin through Christ we allow Him to work through us. Evil can be essentially any and all else. It may be intentional service to Satan, false worship of other gods, or even just worship and obedience to the “god” of self.
Unjust judges and leaders can be found in any and every nation. The wickedness that results from their judgments is at times tragic. Sometimes it can be very unsettling to see evil at work and seemingly in control. However, let us remind ourselves that the Lord is always in control. He guides the righteous and restrains the wicked to His plans, even when we don’t understand it.
One thing we can always surely do as His children… pray to Him for intervene against the wicked and for His children and pray for Him to encourage and sustain us through the tough times.
Unjust Judgments Rebuked.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers.
2How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked?
3Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
7“Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
