A Timely Devotional

                                      Recently I was called for jury duty.  It meant extraordinary inconvenience and lots of lost time, but it was also serious business.  During the first day's orientation, the judge lectured us on the responsibility at hand and the important nature of the task.  We were going to sit in judgment of people who either had disputes (civil court) or were charged with crimes (criminal court).  I felt a great sense of inadequacy for the task at hand.  Passing judgement on another person, with serious life consequences riding on the decision, is not a simple thing.  Because we're flawed human beings, we may not always make the right judgements.
While the justice systems of our world might struggle and falter because of the inherent failing of the humans that manage them, we can always trust our God to excel in wisdom and fairness.  The psalmist sang, "The Lord reigns; the world also is firmly established, it shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously" (Ps. 96:10).  God judges according to righteousness-defined by His own perfect justice and flawless character.
We can trust God now when life seems unfair, knowing that He will one day make all things right in His final court (2 Cor. 5:10).
