Devotional – February 9, 2012

VERSE:
Job 24:25–Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, and make my speech worthless.

TRUTH:
Life is unfair and Job has just given lots of examples how. He challenges his friends, who have said that only bad things happen to bad people and good things happen to good people, to prove that he’s wrong. The fact is, it often seems that evil people prosper and the good are downtrodden. Unless we focus on the overall that God sees and the fact that He will eventually settle everything, this world can seem very unfair. Are we focusing on the day to day, or do we trust God and see His bigger picture.

RESPONSE:
Lord, You know all and even though it can seem like evil prevails, nothing happens that You don’t see and will one day make right. I trust You.
