TEXT:
Psalms 75:1-10
1.
God the Judge we give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks to you! We proclaim
how great you are and tell of the wonderful things you have done.
2.
“I have set a time for judgment,” says God, “and I will judge with fairness.
3.
Though every living creature tremble and the earth itself be shaken, I will
keep its foundations firm.
4.
I tell the wicked not to be arrogant.
5.
I tell them to stop their boasting.”
6.
Judgment does not come from the east or from the west, from the north or from
the south;
7.
it is God who is the judge, condemning some and acquitting others.
8.
The Lord holds a cup in his hand, filled with the strong wine of his anger. He
pours it out, and all the wicked drink it; they drink it down to the last drop.
9.
But I will never stop speaking of the God of Jacob or singing praises to him.
10.
He will break the power of the wicked, but the power of the righteous will be
increased.
(Good

TOPIC:
JUSTICE UPON THE WICKED
An adage says, “Every
day for the thief but one day for the owner.”
The Psalmist makes it
clear that God will bring justice upon the wicked. That is, the people who have
refused to steer clear of wickedness. People who are disobedient, arrogant,
boastful and full of themselves.
A cup in the hands of
the Lord that is full of foaming wine mixed with spices will be given to them
to drink. No matter how late, one day the wicked will surely be brought to
judgment before the Lord.
It is time for you to
repent of your wicked ways and embrace Christ in order to avert this pending
judgment.
QUESTION:
Will you allow God’s judgment fall on you?
PRAYER:
Father, please help me to cling to You all the days of my life so as not to
fall under Your judgment. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
