The court of Heaven will always have the last word over the affairs of Earth. Heaven’s court is eternally in session and never takes a recess. There is only one righteous Judge, and He adjudicates the cases of humanity with mercy, grace, and love. 

Look to God for the final disposition of your case, no matter how much the odds seem to be stacked against you, making a fair earthly trial seem impossible. Seek the peace that comes from relying on God’s merciful judgments above the temporary and short-sighted judgments made by angry and unforgiving individuals and the lynch mobs of culture that blindly follow the heat of the latest hot-button issue. 

God’s peace will allow you to contend for righteousness and honor even if it appears that justice is not possible, and the hangman’s rope is being placed around your neck. That choice will open the door for you to experience rest in your soul no matter what judgments are issued from individuals or the institutions of society. Peace comes because you know your case has been settled in the court of Heaven, and nothing that transpires on Earth can change that final judgment.
