LIFE IS NOT FAIR

 
 
Isaiah 30:18


"Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him." ESV


We have all felt and said that life is not fair. Bad things happen to very good people, God's own children. It's so hard to understand how our God of love would let such things happen. If we will take our hearts and minds back to the cross of Christ, we will understand that God takes care of all things in His own time and His own ways. He waits for the perfect time to show His glorious power. Then His perfect justice and fairness is revealed. No, the world is not fair. But our God is.


Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You that You are love and You are just. Help us to use our faith to remember that this world is not just and things happen we don't understand. But You will bring justice to all that happens here. We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.

HONESTY

 
 
Proverbs 11:1


"A false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but a just weight is his delight." ESV


It is one thing to be openly and unashamedly dishonest and unfair. But is is far worse to pretend to be honest while hiding and disguising the face of dishonesty. God detests the intention to deceive by those cunningly trying to make themselves look truthful and innocent. They are wolves in sheep's clothing. It is no wonder our Great Shepherd detests them. And it is necessary that we pray for discernment to recognize them and expose them.


Heavenly Father, please search our hearts to reveal any dishonesty in us so that we can repent of it. We pray for discernment to recognize dishonesty wherever it appears. Help us to be consistent with honesty and honest living so that we will be productive witnesses for Your kingdom. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
