Being god (Psalm 82)
Psalms 82:6
I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.
This is one of the shortest Psalms, yet so significant that the Messiah quoted from it.
John 10:32
Jesus replied, “It is written in your own Scriptures that God said to certain leaders of the people, ‘I say, you are gods!’
The Hebrew word there is "Elohim", which could refer to the Heavenly Father, could refer to gods or could also refer to angels, depending on its use or implication.
However what we are taught in this Psalm is that at whatever place we play the god role we should remember that there is only one God to whom all gods must account to for He judges all:
Psalm 82:1
God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
We must give account of that position we occupy.
Psalm 82:2-4
How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
Deliver the poor and needy: rid [them] out of the hand of the wicked.
Every leader will account to the greatest leader. Every judge will account to the greatest judge.
Psalms 82:8
Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
No matter how high or moderate we feel that position is,
* maybe just being a parent,
* or having more than another, that they seek help from you,
* or as big as occupying an elected office.
* You could be a policy maker,
* office head,
* head of province,
* governor,
* president,
* pastor,
* teacher
whatever the position. . .
May we never forget who the real boss is.
He calls us blessed.
