The Joy of the Judgment

Based on Psalm 26

David calls on Jehovah to judge him because David has experienced integrity in his life.

David explains that his confidence is his faith in Jehovah.

David calls on Jehovah to test his will, his deepest thoughts. He will pass this test because he will focus his attention on Jehovah's loving kindness and his actions are based on Jehovah's truth (testimonies).

David recalls that he has avoided the society of shallow people or phoney people, avoided any dubious gathering and avoided associating with those who are scheming against God and his people.

It is time to be cleansed with washing by water and come to the altar (cross) of Jehovah.

Then we may start to tell the world the amazing things Jehovah has done for us.

David loved the church of Jehovah and asked God not to let him be separated from the church and be gathered with the wicked (to be destroyed).

David determined to live a life of integrity, not just imputed but imparted. But he knew he needed Jehovah to redeem him from his fallen state and to be merciful on his continual failings.

We have a strong, stable foundation; and in church we can tell the good things Jehovah has done.

The ongoing judgment in heaven right now is a good thing because it is an opportunity to overcome sin as Jesus reveals it to us.

It is right to determine to do what is right and trust Jesus to teach me integrity and forgive me.

I should be re-converted daily and then tell the world what Jesus has done for me.

If you fear condemnation you ought to start loving Jesus' church, start associating with Jesus' people and not Satan's people. When Jesus comes you will be associated with the group who have always associated with.

Jesus has helped me to be patient this week, I am determined by his grace to grow further so now I will consecrate myself to Jehovah once again.
