Where is your justice God?

“Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you;
therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice.
Blessed are all who wait for him!” Isaiah 30:18

Many times I have confronted God and asked Him where is your justice in my life? Why have you abandoned me?

The answer from God is He is a God of justice and mercy and blessed are those who wait for Him.

God loves justice and does not forsake His saints. They are preserved forever! However, what you think is justice is not necessarily the ways of God. You can’t evaluate the justice of God because He works behind the scenes!

I have a family member whose wife battled cancer for many years and eventually died. The husband told me this was the best thing that ever happened in his life. He saw life from a godly perspective and realized what was really important to him.

Sometimes God will impoverish your life (make you poor) to bring you to your knees. He will take away your riches and opportunity, cause you to become weak, or give you a sense of being empty or depleted. This is is done to show you He is God and He is your only lifeline to an abundant life.

God’s methods can seem harsh and cruel at times but you have to believe God is perfect and knows what He is doing. You have to learn patience, wait on God and have faith that you will see the goodness of God in the land of the living.

One of the most difficult things in my life is to resist judging God when I see injustice. However, God keeps reminding me that I am not God and my judgments are impaired by my emotions and not understanding the deeper purposes of God.

Jesus told a parable about an unfair judge and a widow that was tormented by an adversary. He concluded by stating “And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly”.

You cannot control God or sit in the judgment seat. All you can do is cry out from your heart and plead for justice and mercy from God. Your faith in God is your only hope for victory!

Thought for the day: “I look at your life through microscopic eyes and I know everything about you. I want to perfect you into becoming My witness to the world. Don’t judge Me by the difficulties in your life. Judge Me by My Word! I will make right the wrong in your life. I am a God of justice.”
