God's Righteous Judgment
2 Therefore you have fno excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For gin passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. 2 We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. 3 Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you presume on hthe riches of his kindness and iforbearance andjpatience, knot knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? 5 But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are lstoring up mwrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 nHe will render to each one according to his works: 7 to those who oby patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, he will give eternal life; 8 but for those who are self-seeking1 and pdo not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, there will be wrath and fury. 9 There will be tribulation and distressqfor every human being who does evil, the Jew rfirst and also the Greek, 10 but glory and honor and speace for everyone who does good, tthe Jew first and also the Greek.11 For uGod shows no partiality.
The sins, darkness, and desires of my heart are so deep-rooted and dark that I can't do this myself. I need God. and I've known. For so long. I've known how big of a sinner I am to God and how big of an embarrassment I am to God by proclaiming that I follow Jesus. I'm so unworthy and so unfaithful but He is good.
Why is it that I can't be faithful. Why is it that I'm becoming that seed strangled by the thorns, desires, worries and craves of this world. I don't need all this to satisfy me. My savior LIVES.
I've lots of thinking and praying to do.
I need God.
I need Jesus right now.
