“He has Established His Throne for Judgment”

What on Earth is God Doing?

By William M. Self, Sr.

 

Even God does not like pulling weeds

Under His Reign, He lets the wheat and weeds grow together

But don’t let that fool you

There will be a harvest day

 “He has Established His Throne for Judgment”

“The Lord reigns forever;

“He has established His throne for judgment.”

Every day God sits on His throne.

The scriptures says…

 

“He has established his throne for judgment.”

The word judgment is scary.

I don’t like my faults exposed.

And I don’t like consequences for the things I do wrong.

If you and I can look beyond the fear of

 judgment, we can see something very beautiful.

As God reigns, His Spirit covers the earth.

Jesus said in John 16… He would

send the Holy Spirit the counselor.

The Spirit will convict the world

of sin, righteous, and judgment.

The Spirit then guides us into all truth.

We call it our conscience, that inter

feeling that warns us wrong.

The Spirit helps us recognize trouble before it happens.

This ability to sense right and

wrong can be adjusted by us.

  “For although they knew God, they neither

 glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him,

but their thinking became futile and their

foolish hearts were darkened.” Romans 1:21 NIV

When we turn off or harden our hearts

to the Holy Spirit God gives up on us.

“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful

 desires of their hearts” Romans 1:24 NIV  

As God reigns, He allows those He has given up on

and those who trust in Him to live on earth together.

Jesus compares these two types of people to wheat and weeds.

 

They grow up together.

Because God reigns forever, He waits and

in His time He will bring in His harvest.

Those who were governed by the Spirit

 will rule and reign with Him forever.

So next time you feel the nudge

of the Holy Spirit you will know…

God still reigns.

Those nudges are for your good and the good of others.

So don’t disregard it and become insensitive.   

 

Scripture Reading

Psalm 146:3-10 NIV

10 The Lord reigns forever,

your God, O Zion, for all generations.

Psalm 9:7-10 NIV

7 The Lord reigns forever;

he has established his throne for judgment.

8 He will judge the world in righteousness;

he will govern the peoples with justice.

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,

a stronghold in times of trouble.

10 Those who know your name will trust in you,

for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.

Matthew 13:26-30 NIV

When the wheat sprouted and formed heads,

then the weeds also appeared.

27 "The owner's servants came to him and said,

'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field?

Where then did the weeds come from?'

28 "'An enemy did this,' he replied.

"The servants asked him,

'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

29 "'No,' he answered,

'because while you are pulling the weeds,

you may root up the wheat with them.

30 Let both grow together until the harvest.

At that time I will tell the harvesters:

First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned;

then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"
