When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [20] 10/21/2025 (Morning thought)

Daniel 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and he doeth according to his will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay his hand, or say unto him, What doest thou?

[Prophets & Kings pp 499] Nebuchadnezzar revoked the decree for the destruction of the wise men. Their lives were spared because of Daniel’s connection with the Revealer of secrets. And “the king made Daniel a great man, and gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon. Then Daniel requested of the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.”

In the annals of human history, the growth of nations, the rise and fall of empires, appear as if dependent on the will and prowess of man. But in the word of God the curtain is drawn aside, and we behold, above, behind, and through all the play and counterplay of human interest and power, and passions, the agencies of the All-merciful One, silently, patiently working out the counsels of His own will.

We therefore end with a passage of Scripture that would help us to navigate all of the noise that has been accumulating for centuries. And it is the will of God that those individuals who are preparing for prime time, will harbor only the Biblical perspectives on God’s prerogatives, His instructions, and a balanced view of His love. In doing so we will avoid the snare of questioning His justice, whenever He begins His strange acts.

Deuteronomy 32:1 Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. 4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.  

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

When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [19] 10/21/2025 (Evening thought)

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

What God says He means, and He means what He says and thus, He cautions us against adding, subtracting, deliberately manipulating, and giving private interpretations to His word. In our day, science is still fixated on the curious in contradiction to what the Scriptures declare on the origin of species. There are many satellites or telescopes scanning the heavens for the origins of life, when the clear, concise account is given in the Bible. Here in the above passage it is in one simple short sentence.

Again, to many minds The Lord might seem to be missing in action, as the cries of the stranger, and the poor reach up to heaven, whilst the rich, and the infamous, might seem to be getting away with murder as it were. These things perplex the minds of many persons and some are led to question God’s justice, while some believe He is taking too long. We’ll need to remember that in the greater scheme of things He is working out everything for the greater good of His people, and the very best good for the world at large.

Harboring the Scriptural perspectives on serving and loving God will prevent in large measure the common misunderstandings of what He does or what He may permit. And, it is of critical importance that our minds be aligned with His word and will so that we wouldn’t question His strange acts, when they will begin to occur in the final chapters of earth’s history.

Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

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