and said to the judges, “Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord, who is with you in the judgment. v. 6
Read chapter 19
Now these judges spoken of here are not the same judges we have today, nor can we put our name in this verse and say it's of us. Jehoshaphat, who's king over Judah, has appointed these judges. These judges were mediators for God in their judging. God was with them whenever they gave a verdict, not just their own thought or opinion. Jehoshaphat still warns them to consider what they do. What they did and how they judge out to line up or else would appear very hypocritical wouldnt you say? We don't have God's judges today in our courts or other areas where judgments are made- but one that knows God well can better know what God would say. By knowing scripture it helps us know God more and therefore His judgments as well; we also then grasp His grace too. Are you facing a situation you need to make a decision on? Consider carefully of what you think God would say and prove it through His word.
