Psalm 96

No one wants to face a judge. Normally in our culture a person faces a judge when they are involved in some crime.  But what we fail to realize is that we all HAVE been involved in a crime. Everyone of us has stolen God's rightful position as ruler of our life. Even when we realize that our lives are broken and out of control we don't want to give God control. So we will all face the eternal judge. This may lead us to fear but we should not. We can take comfort in the last words of this psalm: God judges in righteousness and faithfulness.     That is the type of judge that we need when we approach that throne of mercy.
It took me about 2 minutes to reads this psalm.
