He Is Series Elohe Mishpat--God of Justice The God Who Sees What’s Wrong and Makes It Right

Psalm 103:6-7 “You're a God who makes things right, giving justice to the defenseless. You unveiled to Moses your plans and showed Israel's sons what you could do.”

Today, we are talking about Elohei Mishpat- The God of Justice. The Lord’s timing is always perfect, although it doesn’t always feel perfect. I read this verse, and the timing was perfect because it confirmed a friend’s situation. I have a friend who has been struggling with workers’ comp for over a year. It has been so stressful, and he wants it all done and over with. I texted him on Wednesday of this week because he was supposed to have a Zoom meeting, which was sort of like a hearing to see the next steps. Several people told him he should have a lawyer present so he wouldn’t be taken advantage of during the hearing. He didn’t have the money for a lawyer, and he didn’t want one. He said the Holy Spirit would be his lawyer.

I prayed over him on Monday that everything would work according to God’s plan. We prayed for God to give him the words to say. We prayed the truth would come up somehow. Then, on Wednesday morning, I sent him another prayer to fill him with peace about the situation. To give him courage and strength, and again for the Holy Spirit to guide his words. He sent a text back saying the hearing was canceled, the insurance company dropped the suit, and no further action was needed. That same day, I read the verse above, “You’re a God who makes things right, giving justice to the defenseless.” God is so good! He took care of everything for my friend. He answered our prayers. This is what it means for God to be the God of justice. He sees when something isn’t right. He sees when someone is vulnerable. And He steps in.

He will do the same for you. Sometimes, we limit the scope of what we think God can do. We will go to Him when someone needs healing or if we need strength. We go to God when we have family issues or when our marriage is in trouble. However, when it comes to some things, we don’t go to Him because we can’t see what He could do in this situation. For instance, if we are in a legal battle, we might pray for strength but not for God to fix the problem because we can’t see a solution. We can’t see how God could fix it. It is difficult for us to understand that God doesn’t have the same constraints that we have. He is not bound by anything. There is nothing He can’t do. If He can create the entire universe, He can get you out of whatever situation you find yourself. God’s justice doesn’t always look like a courtroom decision. Sometimes it looks like God stepping into situations we don’t know how to fix and making a way where there wasn’t one.

I read this book called How to Be A King’s Kid. The author recounts a time when he served as president of a company. He put in a bid for a contract on a large government project. He was sure He knew all the details, so he didn’t read the fine print. After he signed the contract and committed the company and everything they owned, he saw that the fine print required them to do something impossible. The out-of-town contractor sent them registered letters informing them that the communication they received would constitute the institution of a lawsuit for all they owned. The government was involved, the army engineers, seven contractors, hundreds of people—Top priority. Penalties on top of penalties—There was no way to undo what he had done.

The author said he panicked and asked God what he should do now. He said it seemed like God said, “It’s a little bit late to ask that question. You didn’t ask me before you signed the contract.” The author said that although he messed up, he knows that our Heavenly Father has provided all kinds of latitude for His kids to goof, and that what we do about it determines the outcome. What does God say to do? If we confess our sins, He is faithful and will forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. The author prayed, “Lord, I have goofed. I have really made a boo-boo. How are You going to get us out of this mess? Hallelujah!”

Next, instead of worrying about this problem, he headed to a retreat. The retreat started out by asking everyone to confess their faults to one another. So he stood up and told them what he had done. He said, “God’s kids never give up. Praise God. We don’t know how our God’s going to get us out of it, but He’s promised to do it. He said in Psalm 50: ‘Offer unto God thanksgiving and pay thy vows unto the most high and call on me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Then he said, “Lord, I’ll be glad to give You the glory because no man can deliver me.”

All of the people at the retreat gathered around him, laid hands on him, and prayed in tongues over him. In that moment, the Holy Spirit guided their prayer in a way he never could have come up with on his own. They prayed for something that seemed completely impossible—that the whole situation would be wiped away. It was a completely impossible prayer, but it had been prayed. No way to call it back. And so he waited day after day for the breach-of-contract lawsuit to begin. Satan kept needling him daily, “It’ll come tomorrow.” But tomorrow, it didn’t; days passed, weeks, and finally, years without mentioning a lawsuit. During that time, he had to learn to praise Jesus constantly or else fall into the tormentor's hands.

He doesn’t know what happened. The contractor still has his signature on the paper. And he is entitled to hundreds of thousands of dollars in damages unless God changed the minds of many people. He can’t explain to you how it happened. He is just reporting. God is in charge. The author said, “He used to be my partner, but no more. Since I’ve started to live like a King’s Kid, He’s Head Man. Hallelujah!

The verse ends with, “You unveiled to Moses your plans and showed Israel's sons what you could do.” I think God is still showing us what He can do. We are lucky because ever since Jesus died on the cross, there has been no veil separating us from the Lord. We can approach Him. We can be close to Him. Nothing is separating us from the Lord. Well, we can put up walls, we can put up blocks. However, the Lord has removed all that is in our way. Now, it is up to us how close we want to get to the Lord. There is no question in my mind that the Lord is still showing us what He can do. Almost every day, I am blown away by His goodness. It would be every day, but sometimes I am not paying enough attention to be blown away. Sometimes, I get wrapped up in my own stuff. There are so many miracles that happen each and every day. We need to pay attention to see them. If you have a problem, no matter the size or the type, bring it to the Lord. He will help you! It would be even better if we brought our decisions to the Lord before we made them and asked what He thought. I bet we would find ourselves in a lot less trouble that way.

Dear Elohei Mishpat, I ask you to bless all those listening to this episode today. Lord, you are amazing, and we are so grateful you take such good care of us. We are grateful that you give justice to the defenseless. We are grateful that you see us, care for us, and step in on our behalf—even when we feel undeserving. Lord, help us to bring our decisions to you in advance so you can help us make the right decisions. Help us to turn to you, even in the impossible decisions. You are the God of the impossible. Remind us of that often, Lord. We love you, and we ask all of this in accordance with your will and in Jesus’ holy name, Amen!

Today’s Word from the Lord is, “There are times when you have to go through diﬃcult things, and you don’t understand. But know that I have a plan. And the diﬃculties a lot of times are just to give you the strength, because I have an extraordinary work for you that you will accomplish, that will give me glory. So bear with your suﬀering.
