Justice

Isaiah 30:18 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!

Justice from God comes in many ways. Some visible to the human eye some not, some instantly in earthly time frame, some not. The sure thing is that there is always justice in the Kingdom of God. For our sins there was justice paid by the Son on the Cross. Your redemption and mine, total and complete. Justice came in the form of mercy and set us free.

Then are those situations where it looks like God has forgotten to be just. Joseph languishing in prison, forgotten by men but not by God. God raised him from prisoner to be second only to Pharaoh in the land.

Daniel in the lion’s den, rising literally from the jaws of death after which Cyrus an unbeliever issued a decree enjoining reverence for "the God of Daniel”.

Unspeakable injustices but a just ending from the hands of a just God.

God has not forgotten you. You may be in a prison like Joseph, maybe not literally but bound in some way. Wait on Him, His justice will prevail.

His arm is not too shortened that He cannot save nor His ear too heavy that He cannot hear.

Sometimes we cannot even pick our battles they are predetermined to be battles. But you and I can pick what we need to do. Sometimes just waiting in His presence is all that will be required of us.

He will rise to show compassion and in the time of our waiting we will be blessed. Fret not…just wait, He will come.
