So Help Me God
I’ve been sworn to be a jury. It’s my honor to serve as one: for the community – for the country. I’m relieved the courts still swore us in using the word “So help me God” at the end of the oath to tell the truth.
For indeed the truth shall set me free (John 8:32). It shall set all of us free! If only everyone would tell the truth, we wouldn’t need lawyers, court systems, lawsuits, and the constant bickering who does what with whom at where and when. We wouldn’t need to scrutinize every little details.
If only everyone would tell the truth and follow God’s commandments (Romans 13:9). We’ll all be safe.
When I’m on the jury box, whenever I can, I prayed for the witness, victim, defendant, judge, my fellow jurors, and even the lawyers, that they open their heart and tell the truth. Because I know the truth will eventually come out and justice will be served. So help us God!
