Psalm 7
To live such that you could say with integrity, “Our Lord…judge me and show that I am honest and innocent”, would be a blessing. Not that life would be easy with all those ‘enemies’ around to try to cause trouble and pull you down – but to say “God, judge me”, with a knowledge of peace, that’s got to be good. The truth for me at least, (if not all of us) is that by myself I can’t do this. Yet in Jesus I can. My life is in Christ’s life and God’s judgement is good. As I obey and live the life that Jesus shows, then I do get to participate in Christ’s life. As I have said before, this obedience is not qualification but participation. And like the Psalmist, this makes me want to sing “How Great is Our God!” – God has judged me and in Christ I am free and have joy…this is way cool!
