The other day my wife and I consulted with a real estate agent concerning rental litigation. He is a seasoned professional in this area helping his customers with many lawsuits. He mentioned that the law is to protect those who understand or perhaps manipulate the law but not those who  are innocent. It sounds a little bit cynic, yet it is true of the court system most of the time in modern world. A judge is the person who has the authority to render justice in a court. To practice a lawyer or become a judge, a person has to pass law exams and receive some kind of certification in that country. He or she must study very hard to pass those exams to receive a lawyer’s certificate because they are keenly competitive.

However, who is able to judge fairly or truly? Is it the person with a lawyer’s certificate or the expert in the law? Solomon dubbed the wisest king in his days asked God to give him a discerning spirit to be able to just God’s people fairly. One time two woman came to him arguing over a baby. The first woman said that the living baby belonged to her because the other woman lay on her own baby, the child died and then stole her baby away. The other woman said the same thing to Solomon. So King Solomon decided to cut the baby in half. At the moment, the real mother of the baby pleaded with Solomon giving the living baby to the other woman. Then Solomon knew the first woman was the real mother.

After all Israel heard of Solomon’s judgment, they all held him in awe realizing the wisdom of God was in Solomon so as to make him render justice? Who is able to administer justice? God is righteous and just, and justice comes him. Whoever seeks his wisdom and justice is capable of administering justice.
