"Now then let the fear of the Lord be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the Lord our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe." — 2 Chronicles 19:7
Judges who fear God and provide true justice have become significantly rare. We frequently see judges who, out of fear or enslavement to money and power, pervert justice. This is not a new phenomenon; it has been happening for three or four thousand years.
It was for this reason that Jehoshaphat, King of Judah, gave specific counsel to the judges he appointed. He stationed judges in every fortified city of Judah and instructed them as follows:
"He said to the judges, 'Consider what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for the Lord who is with you when you render judgment.'" — 2 Chronicles 19:6 (NASB)
He continued by reminding them that there is no injustice, partiality, or bribery with the Lord our God. In other words, he warned them: "Just as you might take a bribe today to deliver a verdict, you will not be able to offer a bribe to God on the Final Judgment Day to secure a favourable verdict for yourself. Therefore, be careful."
Beloved readers, as you read this, you might think, "But I am not a judge." However, we must not forget that this verse applies equally to the things we do in our personal lives and within our homes.
If we treat a daughter-in-law who brought a large dowry one way, and treat another daughter-in-law with contempt, it means we are practicing partiality.
If we have one rule for our biological daughter and a different rule for our daughter-in-law, God is directing this warning toward us.
God is watching when we treat one son or daughter differently than the others, or when we show bias toward a "favourite" child while dividing inheritance or property.
I recently spoke with a brother who expressed deep sadness regarding his own family. Even in families where members attend spiritual churches, claim to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and speak in tongues, such unfairness exists. God gives this message as a stern warning to such individuals.
Let the fear of the Lord be upon you. Be careful in how you conduct your affairs, for there is no unrighteousness or partiality with the Lord your God. As the Lord says: "By your standard of measure, it will be measured to you" (Matthew 7:2).
