3 He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
or decide by what he hears with his ears;
4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy,
with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth.
I am reminded of the gut instinct mankind has to cry out for justice. We see inequality and unfairness wherever we look, and we believe we have experienced this in our own lives.
What I think we fail to do is to acknowledge our own fault in the situations we find ourselves in, or to take responsibility for the impact our choices and lifestyles have on others.
Jesus judges the needy with righteousness. He sees the truth through the wisdom and understanding that the Holy Spirit brings. Let us ask the same Spirit which lives within us to give us His wisdom.

I am so thankful that our God is a 'beyond the surface' God, He looks at more than the eye can see or ear hear.
