(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word, and let it be the meditation of my heart...)
(Psalm 58:1-11) Do you indeed speak righteousness, you gods?
Do you judge fairly, you sons of mankind?
2 No, in heart you practice injustice;
On earth you clear a way for the violence of your hands.
3 The wicked have turned away from the womb;
These who speak lies go astray from birth.
4 They have venom like the venom of a serpent;
Like a deaf cobra that stops up its ear,
5 So that it does not hear the voice of charmers,
Or a skillful caster of spells.
6 God, shatter their teeth in their mouth;
Break out the fangs of the young lions, Lord.
7 May they flow away like water that runs off;
When he aims his arrows, may they be as headless shafts.
8 May they be like a snail which goes along in slime,
Like the miscarriage of a woman that never sees the sun.
9 Before your pots can feel the fire of thorns
He will sweep them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.
10 The righteous will rejoice when he sees vengeance;
He will wash his feet in the blood of the wicked.
11 And people will say, “There certainly is a reward for the righteous;
There certainly is a God who judges on the earth!”

TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
Very simply, God will one day judge everyone. Because He is truth, righteous and all-knowing, He is just and fair. Those people who are unbelievers will be punished as they deserve. These are the people who have rejected Jesus and His free gift of forgiveness and salvation.
Those people who accepted Jesus' forgiveness and salvation, will be judged and rewarded for the good deeds they have done with right motives. Therefore, whatever we do, we should ask Jesus to help us do them with His love, strength and righteousness.
