When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [2] 10/12/2025 (Morning thought)

Lamentations 3:33 For he does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. 35 To turn aside the right of a man before the face of the Most-High.

Indeed, were it not for God’s longsuffering, and mercy towards, us, many of us would not be alive today. In fact, everyone of us is directly tethered to God’s mercy, and that’s why we are alive. It is the Cross of Christ that, shields us from what we are really due. Thus, because of what mortals may see as God’s inaction in emergencies, some have questioned His justice, while others are displeased when He does act.

So, it has become a situation where you are damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. One of the erroneous concepts being taught, and adopted in many Christian circles is one where a majority of people have come to view serving God as being something subjective. And because of it, persons are in grave danger of becoming very displeased with what God will do, or what He will permit in these last days of earth’s history.

This subjective view is more often than not, the result of persons accepting Christ on terms that are favorable or agreeable to themselves, terms that they, or others have set, and thus, whenever this is the case a person’s faith could get a shock if things do not pan out the way they expected. So, at this point it is necessary to lay out in plain statements, what it means to obey and serve The Lord.

Exodus 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice, and do all that I speak; then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies, and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!

When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [1] 10/12/2025 (Evening thought)

Isaiah 28: 21 For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

God delights in mercy, and everything He does on our planet is interwoven with grace, forbearance and kindness towards us, erring mortals. Persons have come to question God’s justice, not only in sacred history, but also in some of the things that He allows to take place currently. There are those who may wish that He will stand up against the oppression, cruelty and apparent unbridled lies, day in and day out.

Others have become skeptical in their perspectives of Him as it pertains to the mass shootings and the many thousands who are dying daily in Ukraine, in Haiti, and in so many countries around the world. Our opening passage gives us a glimpse of the reason why some people might question His justice, because Isaiah calls God’s serving of justice, or His permission of certain adverse situations, a strange act.

The Lord delights in mercy, and long after we have thrown in the towel, and given up on persons who seem to poking their fingers in His face God is still working to bring about a change of heart or mind wherever possible. Indeed, were it not for God’s longsuffering, and mercy towards, us, many of us would not be alive today. In fact, everyone of us is directly tethered to God’s mercy, and that’s why we are alive. It is the Cross of Christ that, shields us from what we are really due.

2nd Peter 3: 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
