How well is God known?

“In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel” (Psalm 76:1).

God’s name used to be great in the United States.

What caused that to change over the decades and from generation to generation?

Diminishing commitment in the hearts of individuals led to that change.

If everyone had my living commitment, would God’s name be great in the USA?

And what about my home state?

Oregon is one of the least religious or unchurched states in the union!

If all of God’s people here made Him known as much as I do, would the state’s ranking change?

I’ve been in a courtroom several times as an observer.

Honor for the judge was not optional for anyone. Show a lack of respect at your own peril. Beware of arguing with him. Tread softly.

People entering the courtroom know that. And are careful.

But another Judge is generally treated much more lightly.

“But God is the judge: he putteth down one, and setteth up another” (Psalm 75:7).

I may not like His choices sometimes, but I must still honor Him.

I purpose to do so. I purpose not to argue with Him.

What He does is right and just.

Shall a mortal dare even mutter or mumble?
