Psalm 82 - Saturday

Psalm 82

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly;
he gives judgment among the "gods":

2 "How long will you ^[a] defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Selah

3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 "They know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 "I said, 'You are "gods";
you are all sons of the Most High.'

7 But you will die like mere men;
you will fall like every other ruler."

8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.

Huijuan: Be patient and know that God will judge.

Crow: The Lord put us as "gods" over his people, but we need to be just and care for them.. Well, to me it's a big responsibility that the Lord gave us.. hmm, but it can be simple too.. i think it boils down to having a genuine concern for people.. to care for them not out of selfish ambition but because u really care for them... hmm.. the Lord is teaching me about this through this time.. to really just love and care and have genuine concern for people... cuz that's the Lord's heartbeat...

Dellia: Lord, thank You for reminding me that You are in charge and that I can rest secure in You.
