    Psalm 13:6 NKJV
    6 I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.
    Giving
    Proverbs 3:27 NKJV
    27 Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.
    Matthew 5:5 NKJV
    5 Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.

    Justice

    Luke 18:1–8 NKJV
    1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, ‘Though I do not fear God nor regard man, 5 yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.’ ” 6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
    Part of meekness of Jesus in the beatitudes have to do with understanding that there will be a judgement when it’s all over.
    Jesus tells a parable about Heavenly Judgement.

    Jesus teaches on Judgement.

    The Judge in the parable fears neither God or man.
    the point is that he has no loyalty to anyone but himself.
    This is the whole of unrighteousness.
    The widow in this parable reflects a person that has no influence in the world.
    The widow was persistent in her bothering the judge.
    the judge ruled in her favor.
    Luke 18:6–8 NKJV
    6 Then the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. 7 And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? 8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
    people who think they are just usually are not.
    what we want is prayer.
    why because we think we want judgement then we need to think for a moment about our own need for grace.
    usually I want grace for my self, and justice for someone else.

    There will be a judgement; we need to be concerned with how we are going to fare and not so concerned with others!

    2 Peter 3:7–10 NKJV
    7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
    at the end of days we are going to have a new heaven and new earth.
    Revelation 21:1 NKJV
    1 Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea.
    This is what the apostle Peter meant on 2 Peter 3:7
    2 Peter 3:7 NKJV
    7 But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.
    the word perdition in the New King James is translated as destruction in the English Standard Version.
    @ the end of our lives we will stand before the Lord. if your going to be behind me I hope you packed a lunch, its going to take a while.
    2 Peter 3:9 NKJV
    9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
    just because Judgement has not happened doesn't mean that the Lord cant or wont.
    Judgement has not come because he is long suffering.
    many people consider long suffering a weakness. The fact of the mater is they are not week. they are strong.
    Galatians 5:22–23 NKJV
    22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.
    the reality is that laving it to God means that I am trusting him entirely up to God.
    it allows peace to come.
    it allows release to come.
    it allows me to let go and let God.
