---GOD OF JUSTICE ~~

---"I trust in your unfailing love, Lord. I know that You are in control of all things. Loving God, help me to trust You even when I can't see what You're doing.
I'm thankful I can rest in your goodness and faithfulness today in the Name above all other names, JESUS~" ~~ amen"


--GOD OF JUSTICE ~~

--"She was perhaps the greatest "scapecow" in history. We don't know if her name was Daisy, Madeline, or Gwendolyn (each name has been suggested), but Mrs. O'Leary's cow was to blame fro the 1871 Great Chicago Fire that left every third resident of the city homeless. Carried by strong winds through wooden structures, the fire burned for three days and took the lives of nearly three-hundred people.

For years, many believed the fire began when the cow knocked over a lantern left burning in a shed. After further investigation--126 years later--the city's Committee on Police and Fire passed a resolution exonerating the cow and her owners and suggesting the activities of a neighbor warranted scrutiny.

Justice often takes time, and Scripture acknowledges how difficult that can be. The refrain , "How long" is repeated four times in Psalm 13: "How long LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts and day after day have sorrow in my heart? How long will my enemy triumph over me?" (vv. 1-2). But in the middle of his lament, David finds reason for faith and hope: "But I trust in your unfailing love; my heart rejoices in your salvation" (v. 5)." (v.5).

Even when justice is delayed, God's love will never fail us. We can trust and rest in Him not just for the moment but for eternity.
We don't understand His ways. His ways are past our finding out. We must keep believing and trusting in our Rock, Savior, and Redeemer. Sometimes He says yes, sometimes no, and sometimes wait. He knows what He is doing and allowing. "Speak to us, Lord through Your Word." ~~We keep trusting and keep praying. Jesus is in control. ~~~~
