What is the meaning of Psalm 75:2? When I choose a time God Himself declares that the timing of judgment is His prerogative. • His schedule is never hurried by human pressure or delayed by human indifference; “There is an appointed time for everything” (Ecclesiastes 3:1). • History moves at His pace: “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth His Son” (Galatians 4:4), proving He acts at precisely the right moment. • Delayed judgment is not neglect but mercy: “The Lord is not slow… but is patient with you” (2 Peter 3:9). • Every era, empire, and individual ultimately faces the divine calendar: in Psalm 31:15 David confesses, “My times are in Your hands,” echoing the truth here. I will judge fairly The certainty and character of God’s judgment stand side by side. • He judges: “He has set a day when He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man He has appointed” (Acts 17:31). • Fairly means without partiality; Romans 2:11 reminds us, “For God does not show favoritism.” • His verdicts are rooted in perfect knowledge—nothing is hidden (Hebrews 4:13). • Justice includes rewarding faithfulness and punishing wickedness: “He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness” (Psalm 96:13). • The Cross guarantees that justice and mercy meet: believers are covered by Christ’s righteousness (2 Corinthians 5:21), yet accountability remains (2 Corinthians 5:10). • Final judgment will be comprehensive: “The dead were judged according to their deeds” (Revelation 20:12), underscoring absolute fairness. summary Psalm 75:2 assures us that God controls the clock and the courtroom. He alone selects the moment, and when that moment arrives, His judgment is impeccably just. Believers rest in His righteous timing; scoffers are warned that delay is not denial. Either way, every heart can trust that when He acts, He will judge fairly. |
