After Review...

God is not blind like your average referee. God is not influenced by the situation, swayed by the moment. God does not check public opinion or get swept up with the crowd. God never has bias. He never prejudges. He sees all. He knows all. Everything he has spoken is good and true. He will never prosecute the innocent. He will never hold anyone accountable for sins they have not committed. He will never judge you on the basis of anyone else’s accusation. God’s righteous judgment is perfect.

When David wrote Psalm 3, his son, Absolom, had incited his people against him. David was on the run. Enemies were everywhere. Even those to whom David had shown great compassion rushed to ridicule him.

David couldn’t see any hope. David couldn’t anticipate any end to the hostility. The king had been a bad father. The king had made terrible mistakes. Maybe he did deserve this. Maybe God wouldn’t save him. Maybe his enemies were right.
