| God Is Just |
|
That is an amazing fact, isn’t it? God is just. If we could understand the truth of that statement we would start going through life with much more confidence and peace.
To be just is to be morally perfect, without error, without the ability to error, acting impartially to any given situation. Only God can be truly just.
I have experienced God’s ‘justness’ in my life. When you evaluate a situation that hurts you right down to the core of your very being you have to deal with the fact that God is just and everything that He allows in your life is under His control. That isn’t always easy but once you deal with it you can heal and move on.
Twenty years ago we lost our fifth child as a still born. It was a turbulent pregnancy, and I could write a testimony of God’s faithfulness on that subject alone, but it isn’t the point of this writing. Joshua was born full term but without life. I was devastated and I didn’t understand why God, the giver of every good and perfect gift, would allow our child to be born dead. I beseeched Him to bring that baby back to life. It seemed unreasonable and terribly unfair! Yet our prayers were as brass and seemingly fell to the ground unanswered.
I remember a couple of weeks after we lost Joshua I went to the grocery store to do some shopping. In the aisle where I was shopping, there was a mother carrying her newborn baby and the baby was crying. I felt my knees getting weak and I thought I was going to lose it right then and there, but at that very moment God the Father spoke deep into my spirit and I heard him plainly say “My child, I promise I will restore to you double what has been taken away from you”. A peace descended upon me at that moment and although I still didn’t understand I also realized I didn’t need to understand. God is just.
I want you to understand that along with God’s justness He has also given us free will and I had a choice after we lost Joshua. I could say, “No more! I don’t want to even try again.” Or I could trust Him that He would do what he promised. We chose to trust Him.
Last week I was sitting in my living room – It was one of those rare times of quietness throughout the house. I closed my eyes and I thought about Joshua and I thought about God’s promise to me that day, many years ago, in the grocery store. I tried to imagine my life right now if I had chose to shut God out and not trust Him to fulfill that promise in my life. My heart squeezed within me and I was so very thankful for God’s faithfulness.
God not only doubled my blessing – He doubled it again! For eighteen years later we have four beautiful boys that bring us joy without measure. They are 18, 17, 15, and 13 and they haven’t given us one day of heartache since the day they were born. True joy from a loving Father who is just in all of His ways!
We serve a Just God. He is perfect in ALL of His ways. Today make the decision to trust Him in your life and know that He is in control and there is nothing that has happened or is ever going to happen that He isn’t already aware of. |
