India’s Supreme Court recently enacted a new law against “uncle judges.” The action was in response to a growing problem in certain provinces where judges would conduct trials in which one of the parties is represented by a lawyer who was a relative of the judge. Perhaps you can imagine the chagrin of arriving for a court hearing only to learn that your opponent’s attorney is the judge’s nephew. On the other hand, having your uncle as the judge would certainly throw the odds in your favor.

In Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles. Galatians 3:14

What does it mean to have the “blessing of Abraham?” In short, it means that God – the ultimate Judge – is on your side. God told Abraham He would “bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse.” (Genesis 12:3) One of the most important ways in which Abraham enjoyed God’s favor was this: Just as he received blessings from God, Abraham in turn became a blessing to others.

As you pray for America today and seek to be a blessing to its leaders and citizens, you will need the Judge on your side. And when you call upon His name, you can be sure that He will be!
