Usually, when we think about God being our judge, we think about being judged. Isaiah reminds us that because God is our judge, he will judge us according to his will, his rules, and his grace. He is on our side and wants to help us, not hurt us. Using a phrase from the New Testament, when we stand in front of our Judge, we see our Father instead.

Prayer
Holy and Righteous Judge, I’m glad that you are in charge of my life, my future, and my fate. Because you gave me Jesus, I know that you love me. Because of your love and grace, I know that you want to save me. I know that your demand for holiness was met when your Son died on the cross. So, God, I’m happy to give you my life, my soul, and my eternal life. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
