God’s Justice Prevails

History has shown that under God’s providential hand the pendulum of powers will be nudged to the side of true justice.

Proverbs 17
15 Acquitting the guilty and condemning the innocent— the LORD detests them both.

There are times in the affairs of humankind that the pendulum of “justice” swings. Those are often times of the decay of values and the law. We speak of the times when the guilty are acquitted at the expense of the innocent.
In this American culture we seem to be living in such times. The lawless are on the ascendency and those who are law abiding find themselves wondering what has happened. In such times we need to take comfort. While we may be tempted to be fighting mad we must restrain ourselves. We learn what we can about what we have done to bring on the resurgence of lawlessness. We express our views. We exercise lawful actions. We become active in doing what we can without rancor to speak the truth. However, in the end we rest our case with God because He detests injustice more than we. History has shown that under God’s providential hand the pendulum of powers will be nudged to the side of true justice.

It is right because a new generation of young people are tired of things and wrong because another generation of young people will be tired of them.”

“Progress may be relative, but it must be relative to a direction, and cannot count on all the steps it has taken in the opposite direction. “
