Blind Judges
Filed Under Devotional
- Pray
- Read Job 9:21-35
“When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?” Job 9:24
- Observe
I have a brother who insists that Job’s troubles came from Satan, and not from God. And yet, God Himself claims to be the one who ruined Job “without any reason” (Job 2:3). Clearly, Satan was involved and, clearly, God was in control. When God answers Job later, He does not say that Job falsely accused God of blindfolding judges; God does not declare that he is innocent of all this evil. Instead… well, we’ll get to what God did say in due course. In the meantime…
- Do
Ask God to remove any blindfolds from our human judges, so that we may have justice.
