The God who sees all and knows all is orchestrating justice.
Though it keeps us awake at night, though we wake each morning looking for it, and though we walk around looking for signs of it, there it is, on its way to us, and when we see it, we will know God hasn’t delayed revealing it; it comes at its appointed time.
Time has a certain relevance. But only so much. In our own strength, of course, time is everything and we bargain with God about our justice. It must come when we want it, the way we desire it.
But God’s ways are higher than ours. And only God knows why.
When we accept that God has ordained the time for the justice being orchestrated, and not just the time, but the manner of its ensuing, our soul smiles for the trust we now willingly recommit to exhibiting. Over to you, Lord.
We should only want God’s timing and manner, for it would not be God’s justice otherwise. Such a justice is almighty and wise. But it will require humility, honesty and patience each step of the way, one step at a time. Don’t worry, God knows we’re not perfect, and that we’ll mess it up. When we do, we start over, never giving up.
God knows what you’ve been through. God knows the depth of your pain. God knows the extent to which you’ve tried. And God knows how much forgiveness has cost you. God knows. Perhaps we need to read these words, afresh.
When we think of justice coming to pass, and it will, for nothing is more certain in the realms both here and above, we can place ourselves there.
With justice comes clarity for resolution, where restitution’s work is done, and restoration is at hand, and peace is embodied in a soul reconciled.
At that time, as you look around, still, and perfectly at peace, a resonating bearing shines forth from you, a purveyor of God’s wisdom, knowing so much more about the revealed character of God in terms of a very personal justice. Hold to that as a vision you can turn to in some of the darker in-between times both here and ahead.
Your God is orchestrating justice, and it will be completely other-than your own conception. It will be vastly different from what you expected, and better than you could have hoped for; both right and fair, and also beyond your imagined hope.
We personify such a time, being within our person experiencing it all, and we know that it is God’s justice because we could not have foreseen such a revelation of circumstance.
It is greatly different to how we would have written it. This is how we know that God has orchestrated it from long before it truly came to pass. God is orchestrating it now.
So, no matter the situation and circumstance we find ourselves in, no matter how we’ve been treated, we’re comforted that God knows, that God sees, and that God has these matters in hand.
In the meantime…
Be still before the Lord, wait patiently; do not fret, it leads only to evil. Commit your way to the Lord; trust and God will act (Psalm 37).
