Why Does God Judge Right?

In my last post, I pointed out that every decision God makes is right.  God never makes a wrong decision.  That’s a pretty amazing concept.  Why does God judge right?

Answer this question: What is Solomon known for asking God for?

If you said wisdom, you’re wrong.  God gave him wisdom, but that’s not what he asked for.

1 Kings 3:9, “Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?”

Solomon asked for understanding.  He asked for understanding because he’d have the difficult task of judging.  He knew he’d have to make some tough decisions as the new king of Israel.

Knowledge, wisdom and understanding are all things the Bible tells us we should strive for.  Knowledge is the what, wisdom is the how and understanding is the why.  The reason God always judges right is because He is perfect in these three areas.  God knows what to do in every situation.  He knows how to do it.  He also knows why it should be done.

The main reason we have trouble with some of the decisions God makes is because we are not perfect in those three areas.  There are many times when we don’t know what to do or how to do it.  Even if we do know those things, we don’t always know why.  We must come to the place where we recognize that God is on the throne.  He is in charge.  He always makes right decisions.

We may not know why He does certain things, but we can be sure that He does.
