Proverbs 20:26-28 (ESV)
26 A wise king winnows the wicked
and drives the wheel over them.
27 The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord,
searching all his innermost parts.
28 Steadfast love and faithfulness preserve the king,
and by steadfast love his throne is upheld.
Just as the wheel of a cart is driven over plucked heads of grain to thoroughly divide them, rulers use godly wisdom to distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, eliminating evil from their realm. God is aware of all that goes on in the universe, and we will face full and honest judgment when we stand before his throne. The good king, though unable to see men’s motives, seeks to uphold the cause of the oppressed.When the king is determined to stand up for justice, he acts on the Lord’s behalf.It’s easy to forget that God knows everything about us.He even knows how we would behave if given different circumstances. Do you think that if things were different you would be a better person? God already knows how you would act in every possible scenario. God has us exactly where we are today for a very good reason.
