Daily Devotional

Last Friday I was in a deposition with 20 lawyers. So when we broke for lunch I was joined by our attorney and the lead attorney. While we ate I asked them some questions, “How many items are needed to build this building?” “How many questions and answers were there asked and answered?” Both of them just looked at me as though they did not even care. Then I made a statement, “If you want to find wrong, follow the money. How much money do you think the general contractor made after all of his cost for a eight million dollar building? 200K is all! Subcontractors made even less; so who is making the money?” I then said, “Each of those attorneys in that room charge at least $300 per hour and this lawsuit will take years to resolve, so who is going to make the money?” I followed up with this, “Did buildings just start leaking in the last 30 years, and was it then that mold was found?”

 

Then in my quiet time today the Lord opened my eyes to the times I live in, and to see what America has become!

 

Son, watch out for smooth talking lawyers who cause divisions for they are only serving their own personal interests. Their glowing words are lies and their intent is to deceive people. They do not care about what is right, for their lawsuits are based on twisting the truth. Nothing they do is productive, and they have lost what it means to have common sense. Now even the courts oppose common sense, therefore justice will not be found.

 

When truth stumbles, and honesty is outlawed no one will have peace. People will be afraid of being in a lawsuit themselves. Therefore, there will be no justice and people will not know how to live without fear. Remember, that when truth is gone, people with common sense will be attacked.

 

Son, I am displeased to find there is no justice in America. I am amazed to see that no one in authority stands up to help the oppressed. Why? Is it because people love their sins? They have turned away from Me and will not listen. Their hands are the hands of murderers, and their fingers are filthy with corruption.  All their activity is filled with sin, and violence is their trademark. Because their sins are piled up, I the righteous Judge, will step in. 

 

Son, only people who understand the times will know the best course to take.

 

Lord, today I go back for the rest of that deposition. I am dreading it! Help me to know the best course of reasoning to take.  Before I answer their questions, give me the wisdom that overrules worldly wisdom and shames those who scheme and slander to win their case, no matter what.  I will trust in You and wait to speak so that the wicked are made fools of in my presence.
