Each of us has possibly made this statement either as a kid or as a grown up, perhaps currently or in times past. Whenever we sense injustice, tendencies are for us to say, “it is not fair!” Truth is, while everyone deserves justice, and rightfully so, sometimes justice is not served equally. There can be many reasons for this, and there is a deep sadness for those denied justice.
When we look at Scriptures, God is portrayed as the True Judge. In His Sovereignty, justice delayed is not justice denied. We see this term repeated by the prophets of old, the “Day of the Lord” concerning God settling accounts with heaven and earth. In Haggai 2:6-7 we read, “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.”
Let us talk about the Justice of God as opposed to man’s justice this Sunday. When the Day of the Lord finally arrives, God will settle accounts with all of creation, heavenly and earthly. Divine justice prevails as we comb through Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. Justice will prevail, and a man will reap what he sows, as God shall not be mocked!
