Often we associate judgement with the infliction of injury, harm and humiliation. But in as much as Judgement is characterized by aspects that may cause pain and distress, God's purpose for judgement are primarily restorative. The history of the Israelites opens our eyes to how God allowed judgement to be an instrument that works His Righteousness in us, by causing us to take stock of our ways, becoming aware of how we have missed the mark and in humility, return to that ancient way, He designed for us to walk in.
Covid-19 in many ways serves a similar purpose, forcing a busy world to stop and take stock of its systems and how they fall short of His mark. How we respond in times like these determines the future of nations. Session 12 of Reset and reorder continues looking at the workings, of God's judgement, the importance of living circumspectly, especially as leaders because our actions impact on those around us, and also how we should respond.
