Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 98:9

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 98:9
"Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity."

The only fair way to judge is with equity. No one is above another. The Lord is no respector of persons.

"For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion."
(Doctrine and Covenants 1:35)

"Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it."
(Deuteronomy 1:17)

"For the LORD your God is God of gods, and Lord of lords, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward:"
(Deuteronomy 10:17)

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
(Acts 10:34)

"But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons."
(Colossians 3:25)

"And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need."
(Alma 1:30)

"And as many as would hear their words, unto them they did impart the word of God, without any respect of persons, continually."
(Alma 16:14)

"And for your salvation I give unto you a commandment, for I have heard your prayers, and the poor have complained before me, and the rich have I made, and all flesh is mine, and I am no respecter of persons."
(Doctrine and Covenants 38:16)

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 128:1
"Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways."

This made me think of how "God is no respecter of persons". All have an opportunity to "come unto Him".

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
(Acts 10:34)

"For I am no respecter of persons, and will that all men shall know that the day speedily cometh; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand, when peace shall be taken from the earth, and the devil shall have power over his own dominion."
(Doctrine and Covenants 1:35)

"And for your salvation I give unto you a commandment, for I have heard your prayers, and the poor have complained before me, and the rich have I made, and all flesh is mine, and I am no respecter of persons."
(Doctrine and Covenants 38:16)

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 9:3-4, 14

Today's Favorite Verse: Doctrine & Covenants 9:3-4, 14
"Be patient, my son, for it is wisdom in me, and it is not expedient that you should translate at this present time.
Behold, the work which you are called to do is to write for my servant Joseph.
Stand fast in the work wherewith I have called you, and a hair of your head shall not be lost, and you shall be lifted up at the last day. Amen."

Oliver Cowdery was acting as scribe for Joseph Smith as he translated the Book of Mormon. He desired to translate and the Lord let him, but he was unable to do so. Then he is told what his calling is. The thing that I noticed is the Lord looks at all callings as important. One is not great than another. For if done well, we are showing we are seeking to do His will, not ours. Eternal life is not limited to those of a particular calling or position. It is obtainable for all. For "God is no respecter of persons". (Act 10:34)

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 98:9

Today's Favorite Verse: Psalms 98:9
"Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity."

Equity - the quality of being fair and impartial.

This made me think of this..

"Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:"
(Acts 10:34)

and this..

"And for salvation I give unto you a commandment, for I have heard your prayers, and the poor have complained before me, and the rich have I made, and all flesh is mine, and I am no respecter of persons."
(Doctrine and Covenants 38:16)

I just sat and pondered on what an amazing site it will be to watch Christ judge the world. I think the world does not know the concept of being treated with equity, and no respecter of persons. I see unfairness all around me. When I witness the judgment of a just King I will have no doubt it was done in righteousness. I will know whatever my judgment will be it will be just.
