    My grandfather a judge in Carnegie, Oklahoma often held court in his house. Fourth of July and lighting fire crackers fond memories in my childhood, yearly sparklers and small fire crackers my friend and I would light the crackers, laugh and be silly. My uncle a police officer arrested us for shooting fire crackers in the city limits and we had to go before the judge.

    God is a righteous judge, He is the only fair judge.

    Should we accept all of God’s attributes and not accept God as our judge. As you know, I am a Freedom In Christ trained encourager, when the person goes through the steps of freedom: Step 3 is Forgiveness, after she forgives the person she releases the person to the care of God and asks God to bless the person because God is the only fair judge.

    When Moses brought the children of Israel to the promise land, the number was so vast God had him assign judges to help him. Deuteronomy 1: 16-18

    Moses Appoints Leaders
    “Then I charged your judges at that time, saying, ‘Hear the cases between your fellow countrymen, and judge righteously between a man and his fellow countryman, or the alien who is with him. ‘You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small and the great alike. You shall not fear man, for the judgment is God’s. The case that is too hard for you, you shall bring to me, and I will hear it.’ I commanded you at that time all the things that you should do.”

    Beloved, God is a fair judge, he shows no partiality, we do not have to fear his judgment because he is in the forgiveness business. Moses heard the difficult cases. God hears the difficult cases.

    When we walk in the light of 1 John 1:8-10

    sWalking in the Light
    If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.
    He forgives us in Psalms 103: 12, “as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.”
    Oh, the next morning my friend and I went before my grandfather the judge, just as God would be, he listened and excused the charges, and declared me innocent of my crime. I was guilty but someone paid the price for my sin. Beloved, Jesus paid for our sins so God is a fair JUDGE.
    Father God Thank you, for being the only fair judge. Thank you that you see me through the blood of Jesus, we are justified and sanctified. Thank you that each day you display your righteousness. Lord your word says if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves, however if we confess our sins you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Thank you that you give us hope. Hope that is everlasting. Hope that prevails. Thank you that you forgive us as far as east is from the west. Lord, thank you for being the only fair judge. In Jesus’ name Amen.
