Thank You, LORD, that You do not simply excuse injustice.
Thank You that You, O God, meet us where we are and reassure us that ultimately our time on this earth is in Your hands.
Thank You, LORD, that You remind us that there will be a day of reckoning.
Even more so, I thank You for the following verses of TRUTH:
Psalm 119:71 ,
"It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn Your decrees."
Psalm 119:67,
"Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I obey Your word."
Psalm 119:75,
"I know, O LORD, that Your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness You have afflicted me."
2 Corinthians 4:17
"For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all."
Colossians 3:4
"When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory."
1 Peter 4:13
"But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when His glory is revealed."
Romans 8:18
"For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed to us-ward."
It really is All about You, isn't it LORD?
Thank You for this!
I love You, LORD.
I thank You for the Holy Bible and the work of Your Holy Spirit that can carry a message of redemption into the dark aspects of everyday life and shed Your Light, and do so without forcing us to accept "trite," "terribly unsatisfactory", or what I call "Christianesque" answers that serve merely to reinforce the position of those who perpetrate wrong.
It is in Your light with a clear view of evil swallowed up by the grand display of Your glory, the Christ-Centered View of every knee bowed before You, the Just Judge, that I can say with absolute conviction:
"All things work together for Your honor and glory, the ultimate good, actively sought by all who sincerely love You, LORD God! Romans 8:28, Holy Bible [LV, Livvy Version]
HALLELUJAH!
Thank You, Christ Jesus!
AMEN!
