"With the kind You show Yourself kind; With the blameless You show Yourself blameless; With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverted You show Yourself astute." (Psalm 18:25-26)
It cannot be said that every teacher and student in a school likes the headmaster. Each person views him from a different perspective. Some may see him as a "Hitler" or a tyrant, while others see him as a good administrator and a talented leader. People often give him various nicknames based on the thoughts of their own hearts.
To be specific, to the talented and hardworking teachers, that Headmaster appears as a good man. However, to the teachers who do not teach properly and take frequent leaves, he appears as a bad and harsh man. Similarly, among the students, those who study well will view him as a good person.
In the same way, God appears to people according to their own mental state. To the merciful, He appears merciful; to those who live a blameless life, He appears blameless; to the pure, He appears pure; and to the perverted and wicked, He appears "perverted" (or astute/crooked). In essence, God manifests to each individual according to their own heart's condition.
Yet, many do not realize this easily. This is why a person walking in wickedness often blames God when bad things happen, rather than realizing their own mistake. Some say in frustration, "Where are God's eyes? He doesn't even have ears; that's why He doesn't hear my prayer." They forget to examine the state of their own lives.
Beloved, there is no change or variation in God. We read:
"Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow." (James 1:17)
If He seems to show "perverseness" toward us, it is essential that we identify the flaws within ourselves and correct them.
In alignment with today’s meditation verse, Jesus Christ said:
"For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you." (Matthew 7:2)
Yes, God will measure to us according to the measure we use. If we are kind, blameless, and pure, we receive accordingly. If our actions are perverse and against Him, we will receive the corresponding result of that perversity from Him.
We all receive the same light from the sun. However, if you wear black-tinted glasses, the world looks black; if you wear green glasses, it looks green. The Lord is merciful, gracious, and slow to anger. Did He not say this to Moses?
"Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth.'" (Exodus 34:6)
How does He appear to us? As a God of kindness, mercy, grace, and patience? Or as a God of perversity? Instead of shifting the blame onto God, let us examine ourselves and correct our ways.
