When I Argued With The Judge

Saturday, March 27, 2021

I only came to the Lord because I was nearly killed when I was 19 years old. I was hit by a locomotive train. To add insult to injury, after being hit by the train, I was given a summons to appear in court. I came prepared. I had arguments, defenses, and photographs. I approached the bench and began the presentation. But the judge didn't want to hear any of it. He just dismissed the charges. I was still trying to give the presentation as my father whispered, He just dismissed the charges, leave the judge alone and get out of the court! It was a foreshadow of salvation. Even now as believers, we often try to convince God to bless us, to love us, to provide for us, to protect and defend us. But we don't have to. He's the One who had to convince us to be saved. He loves us freely and gladly. He has chosen to give us the kingdom. So stop trying to convince God what you want. Let Him convince you of the love and blessings He wants to give you! rn
