2 Chronicles 19 - Praying God's Word

 

Please read 2 Chronicles 19.

Meditate on verses 6-7.

 

He said to the judges, "Consider what you

are doing, for you do not judge for man but

for the LORD who is with you when you render

judgment.  Now then let the fear of the LORD be

upon you; be very careful what you do, for the

LORD our God will have no part in unrighteousness

 or partiality or the taking of a bribe."

 

I wish every judge in the land knew about this exhortation from the LORD (vs. 6-7).  Thankfully, you have now unearthed this treasure chest of verses for judges.  Keep them in your arsenal to share with those in judicial positions and to pray over them.  Consider also King Jehoshaphat appointed Levites, priests, and heads of households to render God’s judgments and settle disputes, so these verses can be applied to all of us. 

 

Pray 2 Chronicles 19:6-11 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

 

“LORD, help our judges consider what they are

doing, for they do not judge for man, but

for You.  Make them realize You are with

 them when they render judgment.  Let the

 fear of You, LORD, be upon them.  May they

be very careful what they do, for You,

 LORD our God, will have no part in unrighteousness

 or partiality or the taking of a bribe.  As You

appoint ___________ and me for administering Your

 judgment and judging disputes among our people,

 let us do it in the fear of You, LORD, faithfully and

wholeheartedly.  Whenever any dispute comes to

 us from those who live among us, help us warn them,

so they will not be guilty before You, LORD, so wrath may

not come on us and our families.  Help us act

resolutely.  LORD, be with the upright.

In Your name, Jesus~”
