You are gods...

I wasn't sure exactly what I would talk about today, but God gave me this verse to look up and ponder based on what I was reading, I was seeking what to talk about, and this verse came back to mind, and I got the feeling I should share it (from God).

Let's look at the heading for this chapter which says so we can understand this verse we will be looking at and its meaning which says, unjust judgment rebuked. To rebuke means to disapprove of, reprove, or reprimand according to Dictionary.com. after reading and looking at the heading, we get an idea of what Asaph the writer was trying to tell us. Now to the verse.

I said, “You are gods; Indeed, all of you are sons of the Most High. Psalm 82:6 ASV

I being God said we are gods. Right after I got done reading this, I looked it up on the commentary website I use. I did not understand what was being said.

With all that I read the pulpit commentary says it best and which says, verse 6. - I have said, Ye are gods; i.e. "in my Law I have called you gods" - I have given you this lofty name since ye judge on my behalf, "as my representatives". And all of you are children of the Most High. Not therefore "gods" in the strictest sense, but possessing a derived, and so a qualified, divinity. Psalm 82:6

After all that I was reading and thinking about these verses came to mind.

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; 1 Peter 2:9 NKJV

But know that the Lord has set apart for Himself him who is godly; The Lord will hear when I call to Him. Psalm 4:3 NKJV

Think and meditate on these verses as we will continue to look at this verse (Psalm 82:6) tomorrow.
