“Can anyone teach knowledge to God, since he judges even the highest?” – Job 21:22
In 2019, Amber Guyger, a former Dallas police officer, was sentenced to 10 years in prison. She was convicted of murdering her neighbor, Botham Jean, in an apartment she mistook for her own.
Moments before the emotional sentencing, the victim's brother Brandt Jean forgave Guyger with an embrace and suggestion that she turn to God.
Then Judge Tammy Kemp opened a Bible to John 3:16 and gave it to Amber Guyger. She also gave her some words of encouragement to do something with her life following the 10-year sentence.
Describing Judge Tammy, the Rev. Frederick Haynes, senior pastor at Dallas' Friendship-West Baptist Church said: “She is a woman of remarkable faith. And I admire and appreciate the fact that she doesn't limit her faith to Sunday morning.”
In our relationship with God, He is our teacher and judge. Today in prayer, praise the Lord for His wisdom in administering justice and mercy.
“I will govern my life and my thoughts as if the whole world were to see the one, and to read the other. For what does it signify to make anything a secret to neighbor, when to God, who is the Searcher of hearts, all our privacies are open?” – Seneca
God’s Word: “But it is God who judges: He brings one down, he exalts another.” – Psalm 75:7
