\u201cGod is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well.\u201d (2 Thessalonians 1:6-7 NIV)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God brings justice to all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amid a Presidential election, pandemic, and overall world crisis, truth is hard to find.  Watching the craziness of political candidates push forward their plan is not easy.  But we can rest well, knowing God is in charge.  Wrapping our minds around God\u2019s sovereignty in a world of chaos brings sanity.  If we want truth and justice, we must seek Him in all things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People don\u2019t tell the whole story.  Typically, the part told is the one that makes them look best.  However, God doesn\u2019t do half-truths.  His justice isn\u2019t partial; it is full. We all fall under God\u2019s scrutiny. He brings justice and hope to everyone.  No matter what position we hold, none of us escapes the watchful eye of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

God\u2019s justice applies to all.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of our dear friends is a lawyer.  We were talking about life in the legal profession.  He told us a story about his mentor. When meeting with a new client, he asked the same question:  \u201cHow are they goin\u2019 to lie on ya?\u201d  Whatever that part of the story was, he knew it was closer to the whole truth. That technique is how he decided whether or not to take the case.  With a broader picture, we make better decisions.  God has the most comprehensive view of all.  God chooses who needs justice and who needs hope. He also decides when.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing God does is ever on our timetable. Nor how we think.\u00a0 Understanding God\u2019s sovereignty means not having all of the answers.\u00a0 Why some people appear to get justice, and others don\u2019t is not an easy question.\u00a0 Accepting the answer may not come this side of heaven is challenging.\u00a0 Why do innocent people spend years in prison for crimes they didn\u2019t commit?\u00a0 Why is the sex slave trade so rampant in our world?\u00a0 Where is the justice in people dying from an unseen virus?\u00a0 I have no answers to these questions; only God does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He brings justice and hope with Jesus.  When He climbed on the cross for our sins, justice happened.  All sins paid, once and for all.  When He rose again on the third day, He brought hope.  He gave us eternal life, so we know, this world isn\u2019t all there is.  We have eternity to ask God the questions we can\u2019t answer now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe secret things belong to the Lord our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may follow all the words of this law.\u201d (<\/em>Deut. 29:29 NIV<\/em><\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

God brings justice and hope to all through Jesus.  His timing is never late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Question of the Day:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you want from God today, justice, or hope?
