Psalm 98:1-9
For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity (Psalm 98:9).

The pursuit of things, our cravings for fame, success and good life can make us to forget that God is the righteous judge. He is coming to judge the earth at a time He has appointed. It does not matter if we are ready or not, He will come.

The Bible says in Psalm 98:9, “For He is coming to judge the earth. With righteousness He shall judge the world, and the peoples with equity” (Psalm 98:9). John the Apostle writes, “Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:7).

Since this is true what kind of life are we supposed to live? Below are my thoughts:

1. We are to praise Him for His mercy and the marvelous things He is doing in our world.
2. We must continually thank Him for our salvation and that of all mankind.
3. Encourage others to praise Him. He is good to all men. Whether they know Him or not, His breath lives in all men.
4. We should live in expectation of His coming. Let us not be deluded by sin and the lust of this world. Jesus is coming back again.
5. We must deal fairly with all men since our Master deals with us the same way. Let justice, equity and fairness be our watchword too. Shalom.

Your Turn

• Praise God for His word. Sing a new song of praise to Him.
• Pray for the grace to do your part, live right and live right.
