Call For Judgment

Our God loves us very much. He knows that in the end, we truly are very weak vessels that do not stand much of a chance in the battle against oppression without Him. Last night I watched a movie that was about some people being oppressed and a bunch of old heroes rescued them. It was meant to be partially a comedy, I think, but as I watched it I truly identified with and felt sad for the people that had been put into forced labor away from their families. There was a certain sadness and dimness in their eyes. It reminded me of people I see every day. There is hope.

Psalms 103:6 The Lord executeth righteousness and judgment for all that are oppressed.

As I read this passage this morning I was very encouraged to the point I felt my heart jump within me. In this passage righteousness means to set right and judgment means a royal decree. If we plug in these meanings, it can be said like this: God makes a royal decree and sets things right for all those that are being pushed down and treated badly. When we are being pushed down, whether that is by a person, a dark spiritual force, or a situation, all we have to do is to call out to God to set things right. He is watching, and when His people are treated badly, He stands up to defend them. That’s us.

Today, I ask that God execute judgment on behalf of His people.

Prayer
Father, we praise and exalt You. You are our King and our Defender. We ask that You forgive us for the shortcomings we have, please. Send us Your deliverance today. Send us Your healing. Send us Your provision. Send us hope. We love You and believe You are on our side. Please come with Your judgment on our behalf. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
