It just isn't fair. We hear this all the time and guess what? A lot of times it is true. Life isn't fair by a long, long shot, yet we want it to be. Something inside of us cries out for fair dealings. We cry out for justice for all, not just a select few. We want things to be RIGHT because we know we live in a messed up, twisted world that has skewed things so completely it can never straighten them out, never.
When God destroyed all the land living things in the flood except Noah and those he saved on the ark, he did so because things had become so wicked. He wanted man to have a fresh start. Man took that fresh start and I imagine for a while they appreciated it and acted accordingly, but then the evil nature of man took over. Incentivized by Satan at every moment of every day, man once more returned to their evil ways.
Today we wait for and long for the return of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, so there will be an end to all evil. Justice will only then be fully realized for all.
We can cry out that God Himself isn't fair and cite many examples of what we claim is His unfairness, and injustice- but in the end, we will be shown beyond any doubt that all God did was fair and just.
May we stay strong in Christ, awaiting the day of redemption, clinging to Christ as our hope now and forever. May we seek forgiveness when we lack fairness and justice in our own actions, and strive to live as Christ would have us live trusting always and forever in Him, by His mercy and grace, His amazing love!
(Excerpt)
God Will Be Justified.
4 God forbid; yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.
"That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged." God is now accused by Satan of injustice and indifference, and even of cruelty.
Thousands have echoed the charge.
But the judgment will declare the righteousness of God. His character, as well as that of man, is on trial. In the judgment every act, both of God and man, that has been done since creation will be seen by all in all its bearings. And when everything is seen in that perfect light, God will be acquitted of all wrongdoing, even by his enemies.
