God Relates With All Accordingly
Ps. 18:24-30
It is very possible for a person to pretend to be who he is not before his fellow men. Many, through their pretence or eye service, have attained positions they do not deserve or acquired things they do not merit. This is so because men are short-sighted and can be easily deceived. God cannot be deceived. He relates with everyone according to the measure of faith and faithfulness with which they relate with Him. In the Bible passage read, the Psalmist noted that God shows Himself faithful to the faithful, blameless to the blameless and shrewd to the crooked. He is the righteous judge who is never partial or biased. No man can bribe God to pervert justice. That is our God. If you desire the best from God, present yourself holy before Him at all times. He will never compromise His standard for anyone, no matter what. Remember Moses, he only committed “a little disobedience” but God did not spare him despite his closeness to Him. God’s way is perfect and His words are flawless. He makes no mistakes in His judgments and no one can challenge His authority. God wants us to also administer justice same way; not being partial or showing favoritism, but giving judgment accordingly without bias.
Point of Emphasis: You can never dodge the righteous judgment of God. Walk blameless before Him and He will show Himself blameless to you.
Prayer Point: Lord, help me to relate with You blameless at all times and give me the grace to judge without partiality.
