Good Morning “Followers of The Only Perfectly Merciful and Perfectly Just God.” Today we are in Psalm 9.
Maybe you too have heard some version of this statement…
“God was angry and full of judgment in The Old Testament; but now we live in New Testament times. Now, because of Jesus’ payment on The Cross - He is only mercy and grace .”
TRUTH: That statement would require God to change - He never changes. He is immutable (Malachi 3:6). He is Perfect in every way - both as a Judge and a Merciful Savior, both in the OT and NT. Some may think of God as only the angry Judge, Jesus as only the Merciful Savior. Jesus is fully God. Hence, Perfect in every way, and also Immutable (Hebrews 13:8). They cannot change.
Here David gives an awesome picture of our Perfect God. He sees the heart of man and distributes both Mercy and Justice as He PERFECTLY sees fit.
“You have rebuked the nations and destroyed the wicked; you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.”
Psalms 9:5 NIV
“He rules the world in righteousness and judges the peoples with equity.”
Psalms 9:8 NIV
“Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.”
Psalms 9:10 NIV Repentant Jew and Gentile alike, have always been received by Him. Consider Ruth, Rahab, whole Gentile Nations God accepted upon their repentance.
Take heart… Part of God being Good all the Time is that He sees all, knows all, and ALWAYS acts Righteously, with Perfect Judgment, Perfect Grace and Mercy as the Nation, and Peoples require.
Love you all! Dig in!
