God is indeed just and his justice pervades all things
I believe there is a deeper fairness, and a deeper justice which pervades things–because life on earth is, after all, God’s story.
Let’s think of the story of Joseph. He was a victim of repeated injustice–flung into a well, sold to the Midianities, rising to the top, betrayed again, flung into a dungeon, rising still higher.
And the brothers who flung him into the well eventually came and bowed before him, hungry, almost starving, while he was high and exalted.
The situations were reversed. They enjoyed home and family, while he, who provoked their jealousy, was an outcast in a foreign land.
But God, who saw everything that was happening, saw to it that they were brought low while Joseph was raised high.
I have suffered an injustice that it appears the perpetrators have got away with. But in God’s story, things are not always as they seem.
I entrust the situation into God’s hands, and am resting.
He loves justice. He will surely see that justice is done, on this earth, preferably–and, if not, in the new heaven and new earth!!
