Day 12: Job 32-34

Especially lately, with that video about the racist British woman on the tram on youtube, and Donner's exposure of the corruption and racism within the LAPD, the idea of a world without prejudice and discrimination seems... pretty laughable.  Hate is incredibly ugly, but it's unavoidable.  People judge you, one way or another.

Job 34:17-19 says, "Will you condemn the just and mighty One? 18 Is he not the One who says to kings, 'You are worthless,' and to nobles, 'You are wicked,' 19 who shows no partiality to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of his hands?"

Kings and Queens, or in the modern era, CEOs, Presidents, and world leaders do not mean anything to God.  The world may put them on a pedestal, but to God each of us are just as valuable to Him.  I like the idea of that.  It isn't true that God doesn't judge you.  God does judge you, but not based on who you are and what you've done or with whom you're associated.  God judges you based on your heart, and you can't ask for more than that, can you?
