Truth #220 - You can't make the immoral legal and think God will miss it! - Psalm 93-95

Psalms 94:20-23
Can wicked rulers be allied with you,
those who frame injustice by statute?
They band together against the life of the righteous
and condemn the innocent to death.
But the Lord has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the Lord our God will wipe them out.

Truth:  Just because someone makes a law saying something is legal, doesn't make that something right and just!

There may be no better passage to describe the past and recent activities of the U.S. Supreme Court.    They have, on two separate occasions, separated by decades, ruled that abortion is legal and, now, just recently, homosexual behavior is legal.   If we look at the first verse, above, we can see in today's context, the writer of this psalm's words:  Can wicked rulers be allied with you, those who frame injustice by statue?   The injustice in our context is ruling that it is legal to kill a child and to live a life of sodomy, both moral injustice acts.   God has ruled that life is God's to take and to give.  God has ruled that sex is between married men and a women and ANY other sex act is contrary to God's will.    You can't ally yourself with leaders who, by their own decree, make what God has deemed unjust, just.   That is what the writer is saying.   We can't be loyal to those who take God's plan and make another plan, based upon statue.   God sees these acts of man, who attempt to change justice and try to oppress God's righteousness and God's righteous people.   That is what the writer in this psalm is saying.   We are not to turn to the lawyer or the judge of this earth to protect us.  We are to turn to God, who is "my God the rock of my refuge."   God notices the U.S. Supreme Court.   God puts other in positions of power.  God "will bring back on them their iniquity and wipe them out of the wickedness; the Lord our God will wipe them out."  Others can make laws to legalize what they want.   But, God is in control.  God is the God of justice.   He will require from those who legalize the illegal, certain and final justice.  For, even though they skewed justice, God will not.
