No Need To Protest….

Think about this question for about 5 minutes: does God ignore our rights? Then think about all the causes and injustices that happen in the world. Does God reward evil behavior? Why did this happen to this person, seems unfair? Maybe it’s the way we see it that is the injustice. And maybe it’s our reaction or the reaction to our action that is the actual justice being carried out. Does this make sense? Maybe God ignores our “perceived rights”, because we are abusing the rights we actually have (if you want to call them rights). Maybe God ignores our troubles because we purposely created them ourselves, and it’s Him being righteousness to allow the consequences to play out. Maybe people suffer because they ignore God’s clear commands to not do what He says. Suffering is not always brought about this way, but it certainly is when we lose sight of Who He is and what our responsibilities are. Maybe some of these protests going on are just people’s way of coping with their inability to deal with the root of the problem (their own irresponsibility)? And maybe the violence going on has nothing to do with any injustice, it’s just a way for evil people to be evil. Justice will be carried out. God is just, and He doesn’t change. It’s just a matter of time. God does what He says He will do. He comforts those who need comfort. He strengthens those who need strength. He helps those who need help. Maybe if we align our will with His will there will be no need to protest. Make sense?

27 O Jacob, how can you say the Lord does not see your troubles? O Israel, how can you say God ignores your rights?28 Have you never heard? Have you never understood? The Lord is the everlasting God,the Creator of all the earth. He never grows weak or weary. No one can measure the depths of His understanding. 29 He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless. 30 Even youths will become weak and tired, and young men will fall in exhaustion. 31 But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:27-31
