It's Not Fair Or Is It?

 It’s easy for us to become discouraged and feel sorry for ourselves when life doesn’t go the way we think it should.  We cry, “It's not fair” when we have troubles; when the system doesn't give us what we need when we think we need it; when our family members don't trust us even though we said we have changed.  The fact that we cheated and stole from others and lived for a long time in a destructive way may have something to do with why life right now is not as we want it to be. 

 The Lord is good and does what is right.  He shows sinners the right way to live.  He teaches his ways to humble people.  He leads them with fairness. (Psalm 25:8-9 ERV)

 God has a good plan for our lives.  His priority is that we get to know Him and through obedience to His word, have a loving relationship with Him.  God knows what is best for us and will provide those things that are good for us at just the right time.  Sometimes that may mean not having as much money or as much independence as quickly as someone else in a similar position.  God knows we have certain character defects that would destroy us if we did.  God may keep us in our current situation until we are mature and strong enough to live responsibly.  

 God is fair, and he will remember all the work you have done.  He will remember that you showed your love to him by helping his people and that you continue to help them.  (Hebrews 6:10 ERV)

 God is generous and kind.  When we trust Him, He will make a way forward for us that is good, pleasing, and perfect, and we will praise Him for all that He has done.

Prayer:  Heavenly Father, Sometimes I feel that life isn’t fair, and things never seem to go right for me.  Help me to trust Your wisdom in knowing what is best for me and accept that all things are working together for my good.  Keep my daily focus on getting to know You and help me accept Your ways as the pathway to peace.  Amen
