Mans Judgement

[montepollock]

Well yesterday I went to court for three traffic Infractions one of which I,m guilty Of and two that I am innocent .It is kind of Ironic that the Judge asks Me to Perjure Myself By entering a guilty Plea.At first I asked for a jury trial but Wound up caving in to plead guilty to the two charges I did not committ so the other would be dropped even though the Fine was greater,So I LIED IN OPEN COURT.The Bible tells us"Obay the powers that Be for They are Ordained of God...But how can that be?I think this Must be A common Occurence But Among Christs Elect I feel like I have surrendered My Honor An the Irony is that Judge Gives his Blessing.May God Forgive Us Both

I guess the 'bargain' part is you give up something you love to get something of less value. In this case your honor sacrificed for a lesser 'penalty'. Financially it is more. But if it were bargained down from a felony to a misdemeanor then it is better. With a felony you lose a lot of your personal freedoms - the right to own a gun, voting, getting jobs, and more. Lots of companies will overlook some misdemeanors on a person's record but won't hire one with a felony.

This helps keep the prison population down too. (Not saying good or bad on this one). It could be a real 'break' for those who never did wrong before. Or for others it let's them get free when they should have been locked up.

Don't beat yourself up. Satan is the accuser. He is a liar, a cheat and a thief. When you turn this over to Jesus He will cleanse you and put you in right standing with God the Father. In the spiritual world you cannot be accused for something you did in the past (after turning it over to Jesus) because that is all washed away. If you let Satan he will lie to you and make you think less of yourself. Don't ket him get away with the lies and the accusations.

I've been there. Done that. Felt the guilt and shame and know He cannot stand before God and accuse me because I have been put in rightstanding with the Father though Jesus. THAT is the REAL bargain - castings your cares on Him for He cares for you and He forgets your past. Praise God and give thanks to Jesus. As Jesus said 'sin no more' so repent and move on to where God wants you to be in His kingdom.

Thanks for your honesty with us. I know it is a hard pill to swallow.

Not all of man's judgement is the Lord's way. No matter who's in power, they dont always follow the Lord's ways. Steve in so az

I guess the shame is Knowing that both charges would have been proven false in jury trial(no valid DL)I have one just was not carrying it,And failkure to register My car In state,I was not even a resident yet.and the charge I was guilty of?i pulled out of a well lit parking Lot into a well lit street before I turned My Headlights on.
I just hated the thought of So many appeaaarances and waste of resources that Should be Used to fight crime,Not to hastle out of staters.

wanting your money or your life...they got ya and but for the grace of God there goeth I, for I've done the same thing and forgot to turn my lights on when leaving a well lit area! I blink my lights at someone, when I see they don't have their headlights on and they turn them on right away! I've had others do that for me, it is something that's easily done, especially if you don't drive at night very often and I don't unless I have to, as I have night blindness and very hard to see when it rains!

Leave it in Jesus' hands and it will all work out for us who love God and are the called according to His purpose! And those who do or judge wrong will receive their just punishments! So, give God the Glory and the Praise for great things He has done and will do for you, me and others, too, and may we ask for more godly wisdom to obey His and mans' laws!

God Bless!
