Read Job chapter 8 VERSE: Job 8:3–Does God pervert justice? Does the Almighty pervert what is right? TRUTH: For anyone who has experienced difficulties and hardships, this is a very valid question? Job’s friend Bildad starts his speech to Job with this question and while the rest of this speech isn’t very helpful in Job’s situation, these questions are right in the very mind of every single person who has gone through tough times for any reason. When we look at the character of who God is, we will see that He is Justice and He is Right. He cannot possibly pervert those things since He is the very definition…

VERSE: 2 Peter 2:9–if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the Godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment. TRUTH: Sometimes, as we look around us at the world we live in, the world seems to be out of control. It feels like believers are punished and the ungodly get away with their evil. Yet Peter shares with them that if they will look back throughout history, they will see how God has protected those who believe in Him and He has judged the evil ones. We can trust that He is over all things even in our time…
