LIFE IS GENERALLY UNFAIR: JOHN 16:33 33: I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” Yes, life is unfair. We’ll never be able to figure out why young people, with so much to live for, die in the prime of life and old people, tired of living, linger on. I find comfort in the fact that Jesus never promised us a fair world. In fact, he said, “In this world you will have trouble.” From personal experience He (JESUS) knew about unfairness: mocked by His brothers, slandered by religious leaders, betrayed by a friend, condemned to death for a crime He didn’t commit. He also died as a young man at the height of his ministry. Jesus modeled for us how to navigate through a world that is grossly unfair. His attitude was: Keep trusting the Father for he knows best. When life is unfair, remember God is still good. Keep obeying Him and reaching out to those who are suffering. Jesus hasn’t promised us a fair world but he has promised us victory. “Take heart!” He said. “I have overcome the world.” As a Christian, you have all the power you need for the problems you face. PRAY: Father, when I don’t understand, help me to trust you that in all things, the good and the bad, you are working out your good plan in my life. God bless you all. SHALOM!
