Prayer – Lord, I praise You with all of my heart, soul, mind and strength. You are an awesome God—worthy of praise. I know that You will judge me, but I humbly come before You confessing that I have sinned, and ask for Your mercy. Share with me Your joy as I draw closer to You…day by day, moment by moment.
I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will
tell of all the marvelous things you have done. I will be filled with joy
because of you. I will sing praises to your name, O Most High. My enemies
retreated; they staggered and died when you appeared. For you have judged in my
favor; from your throne you have judged with fairness. You have rebuked the
nations and destroyed the wicked; you have erased their names forever. The
enemy is finished, in endless ruins; the cities you uprooted are now forgotten.
But the LORD reigns forever, executing judgment from his throne. He will
judge the world with justice and rule the nations with fairness. The LORD is a
shelter for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. Those who know your
name trust in you, for you, O LORD, do not abandon those who search for you. Psalm
9:1-10 (Read Psalm 9:11-20) (Underlined for emphasis.)
Meditate. Sing praises to the Lord.
You know you WILL be judged one day for everything you
think, say, and do now. You do know that, right? We are told many times in the Bible that we
will be judged.
That's the whole
story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for
this is everyone's duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including
every secret thing, whether good or bad. Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
So, what difference does it make in your life…in your thought,
what you say, and how you treat others? You are accountable to yourself…and to
God. This verse in Ecclesiastes implies that everything is recorded because God
will judge everything. What a database God has at His fingertips! It must be
right there with that Book of Life, in which all those who love the Lord have their
names written.
