Children think the world should be fair.
Everyone should have an equal chance on the playground. Pick me! It’s disappointing not to be the one chosen.
Beauty pageants. Why should only the good-looking faces be allowed to enter? Or perhaps we should say, allowed to win.
As adults, we accept that an outgoing person has a better chance of landing a good job. Tall people win the best movie roles. The rich get to enjoy more of what the world has to offer.
Still, it doesn’t seem fair, especially when drug dealers get the Porsches, mafia kingpins live in vast estates, and CEOs can defraud their constituents and still walk away with millions in bonus pay.
2 Peter 2:9 lets us know that God has it under control.
“The Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished.”
It’s not our job to make the world fair. We should play our part with those around us, treat people well, and be considerate; but in the larger picture, it’s God’s job. He’s the one that will right the wrongs committed by unthinking and unfair people. The drug dealers? God’s got their number. The mafia? Greedy CEOs? Leave it up to God. As the scripture says, he will “reserve the unjust... to be punished.”
We aren’t forgotten, even when life seems unfair. Judgment day is coming. Let’s make sure we’re on the right side of the line when the Lord raises his fist to bring down the house of the wicked.
