Getting Away with Sin

Do you ever feel like things in life aren’t fair?

Have you wondered why some people get away with things with no apparent consequences?

Often, those questions are warranted. As thinking people, we can’t help but wonder about fairness. But when we question why certain people get away with doing wrong, we must quickly remember that in the end, no one gets away with anything. God sees everything.

Yes, God sees everything including what is in our heart. He knows our thoughts and even intentions and motives.

Most importantly, God is just, as Psalm 89:14 states, “Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne…”

If you’ve been upset and concerned because life isn’t fair, because wrong too often prevails over what is right, because our world’s justice system doesn’t always rule fairly, remember that God is just.

Also, remember that there is a day when every person will stand before the judgement seat of God. Hebrews 9:27

God weighs hearts and motives. He forgives repentant sinners. He renders judgment on unrepentant ones.

Set aside any vengeance you have toward another person knowing God will rule justly because that is His nature – just.

Lord, thank You that we can trust You for You are JUST.
