Do you think God is fair?

It’s something we may struggle with sometimes. There are some events in the Bible that may shock us.

However, let me ask you…

• Is God stronger than you? You’d probably say, yes.
• Does God know more than you? Yes.
• Is He wiser than you? Yes.

These things we generally accept, but we also need to realize that God’s justice is more just than ours. Our fallen nature affects our attitude towards sin. It affects our sense of judgment as well.

Our ways are not God’s way nor our thoughts His thoughts. Sometimes we simply have to accept that God is God…and we are not.

And, no, God isn’t fair.

However, I praise Him for it!

A fair God doesn’t send His Son to the cross in our place. A loving, gracious, and just God does.

Heavenly Father,

I confess that I am a sinner. Thank You for not treating me as I deserve. Help me to accept that You are God and I am not. Help me to be more like You, but also to accept that I do not understand everything about You.

Amen.
