I heard those words come from my mouth today. It isn't the first time and perhaps it won't be the last. We sometimes feel that life isn't fair. When children fall ill resulting in death in the prime of their life, we seem to feel justified in expressing that things like that aren't fair. Later while I was driving, I felt the Lord speak to my heart in that still small voice say, "I Am just".
He is just. He is fair. He knows what He is doing. He can change a situation with the speed of light. Often He doesn't. He knows what it will take to bring an eternal soul to salvation. He knows what it will take for us to give our total dependence on Him.
God has the panoramic view of eternity. I see today's snapshot and it isn't what I would like to see. When I whine and say that something isn't fair, I'm not trusting completely in Him. I have taken my eyes off of Him. I know that He knows I am human and I fall, whine and complain. He forgives myfaults. As long as I recognize them as such.
