According to Your Integrity - v.1-2
v. 1 Hear me according to your integrity.
We are appealing for intervention according to His faithfulness in His promise to deliver and to righteously execute judgment.
v. 2 Don’t bring me into judgment with you because I cannot live justly in my own strength.
Where he might be able to claim innocence to men, he knew he stood guilty before God and His law.
He appealed for mercy, not justice and so should our appeal be.
Justice vs Mercy
Justice - people cry out and demand the proper penalty to be handed to the guilty because they deserve the penalty
People will not respect a decision in court that is made with a lenient spirit.
Justice and mercy do not seem to go together.
But… we do expect mercy in our own dealings.
We often cry out for it.
Mercy is not receiving what we rightly deserve as we stand guilty.
How does God judge with both mercy and judgment?
The sacrifice of Jesus has made it possible for God to combine both justice and mercy.
the sacrifice of Jesus has made it possible for God to combine both justice and mercy.
Jesus, out of His mercy, took upon Himself the just death that mankind deserved.
He now judges me in mercy because He took the just blow that I deserved.
He was a judge so he had to be just; he couldn’t simply let the man off.
On the other hand, he wanted to be merciful, because he loved his friend.
So he fined him the correct penalty for the offence.
That was justice.
Then he came down from his position as judge and wrote a cheque for the amount of the fine.
He gave it to his friend, saying that he would pay the penalty for him.
That was an act of mercy, love and sacrifice.
In his justice, God judges us because we are guilty.
Then in his mercy and love he comes down in the person of his Son, Jesus Christ, and pays the penalty for us.
Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, God is both just and merciful.
The illustration is not an exact one for three reasons.
First, our plight is worse.
The penalty we are facing is not just a fine but death.
Second, the relationship is closer.
This is not just two friends, it is our Father in heaven who loves us more than any earthly parent loves their own child.
Third, the cost is greater.
It cost God far more than money – he came himself, in the person of Jesus, and paid the penalty of sin.
Psalm 9:13
v. 3-4 The enemy has brought David to a point where he fears for his life/soul.
v. 3-4 The enemy has brought David to a point where he fears for his life/soul.
v. 5 He remembered the good days, spoke of God’s work aloud, and enthusiastically spoke of God’s handiwork.
v.6 The Psalmists desire for satisfaction in God was great.
Conclusion:
“When I do not trust God alone to keep His promise (deliver me), I express my lack of knowledge concerning His divine character.”
We must rely on God’s justice.
(righteousness, faithfulness, steadfast love, merciful goodness)
He wanted more than just forgiveness.
He wanted to be taught the right way so that he could fulfill God’s purpose for his life.
We must receive God’s mercy.
God desires mercy, not sacrifice.
He completely rejects our Pharisaical legalism.

We can claim the promises that God has made to His children.
My prayer should be according with God’s will.
My prayer should be made relying on His righteousness imputed to us.
If you have not received His righteousness, believe and receive mercy today.
My desire for the world is that they might receive mercy, not only justice.
My desire in prayer should be that God would answer us for His own name’s sake.
