..Then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.
But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a
mighty stream. But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a
mighty stream.
In today’s
society, there are many who commit wrongs but refuse to take accountability for
his/her actions. Our scripture texts make it plan that everyone will be held
accountable for his/her actions to God, and His justice will rain down like
water and His righteousness as a mighty stream. What does this mean? It means
that the wrongdoer can either take responsibility here on earth and if not,
there will come a day when the person will have to stand before the righteous
judge God Almighty.
Standing before the Almighty God, there will
be no excuse of saying I didn’t know, because everyone has the Holy Bible that
says what is right and what is wrong, and they all have been taught right from
wrong. The person chooses to either do right or wrong.
It is noteworthy
to say, the wrongdoer can refuse to admit his/her wrongdoings and can even
justify the wrong and can even expect the righteous to understand the wrong
that has been done. The wrongdoer will even expect the righteous to go along
with the wrong. Let me say this, wrong is wrong and will never be converted to
right. We who are righteous must stand firm on the wrong and call it for what
it is.
Allow me to
close with my mother’s saying, “every tub has to sit on its own bottom.” This
means that everyone will have to give an account for his/her actions.
Take responsibility for your
actions; if they are wrong, then confess, ask for forgiveness and then move on.
If your actions are righteous, then thanks for His Holy Spirit and your
commitment to doing what is right.
