And he appointed judges in the land in all the fortified cities of Judah, in each city. And he said to the judges, “Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for Yahweh who is with you when you render judgment. So now then let the dread of Yahweh be upon you; be careful what you do, because with Yahweh our God there is no unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe. . . Be strong and act, and Yahweh be with the one who is good.”
It is comforting to me that even if they don't acknowledge God, they are still accountable to Him and will be on the receiving end of His judgment. How the tables will turn one of these days!
God judges human judges. The integrity of the justice system in a nation provides a clear indication of the health of society. As is the case with all leadership, judges derive their authority ultimately from God and will give an account to God for their verdicts. Believers are commanded to pray for “kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:2). This psalm reminds us to include judges of every kind in our prayers because we directly benefit from their integrity.
I’ve wondered if it’s not simply threats against their families too. Amy Barrett has been much weaker than I expected from a Trump appointee. Kavanaugh seems strong….we hope. And I still think the opposition took out Scalia. He was so good and way too smart for them.
Those have to be the toughest jobs in the nation. Unless you’re on the liberal side and then you get a pass.
Also, side note, I must say freebird often. Because when I do I usually think of you. Weird since I cannot conjure a face. But maybe the idea of you. Haha.
Progressivist, activist, feminist of color with a chip on both shoulders an makin up for 230 years of White MAGA Hate, 450 years of TransAtlantic slavery and oppression, and 5000 years of patriarchal chauvinism. Here come the Judge!
My CONSTANT PRAYER is that Jehovah Jireh will strike down the corruption in our governance and RISE UP Godly people to govern WE THE PEOPLE. It may be too late for the USA - but that is MY FOCUS AND PRAYER.
No King (or Fake President) BUT CHRIST, No Judges but those who acknowledge and serve the Righteous God, No priest but one who intercedes for weak and immoral mankind and publicly calls out the unrepentant, prideful, and unjust Rulers among us.
I (very) briefly dated a Superior Court Judge. Smart guy, but woah! This dude was not right in the head! He had severe Mommy issues and his “judgement” was entirely clouded in ALL the decisions he made. He was slick, and that’s how he got so far...typical trial lawyer.

Oh, Janice, if only our judges held forth with the fear of the Lord in all the decisions they render! Thank you for your faithful postings!

This needs to be posted in all the courtrooms of the land and especially NYC.
Of course the Ten Commandments served well, when posted, but alas, were too offensive.

Which makes me think I should pray for John Roberts because according to this, he’s in trouble.
IMO Someone has something damning held over his head. He acts like it at least.
We all should be praying that our country lets cooler heads prevail. We are a nation run by a passel of lunatics.
Yes, the word is that he was an Epstein client. If true, that’s pretty damning.
My money's on shenanigans or rule-bending or special treatment regarding the adoptions of his children.
They must have something on Amy C Barrett or her family. I know they don't have jack on Brett Kavanaugh. Dirty sons of female dogs.

Yep. Agree completely.

I did see a photo of him with Epstein's "recruiter" Ghislaine
Ewe. As in "yuck", not female sheep. I'm guessing your mind didn't even go there and I am typing unnecessarily. I am tired. Forgive me.

Imagine if they heard, perceived and followed through on this?
That is the kind of fantasizing I do!!!

'Liked,' by which I really mean, 'yecchh.'
Every judicial official should have this above the threshold so they have to see it every time they enter the "halls of justice".
