IT'S JUST NOT FAIR!!

 

Jeremiah the prophet asks the Lord why are those who do evil permitted to prosper?

Jer 12:1-3 NASB Righteous are You, O LORD, that I would plead my case with You; Indeed I would discuss matters of justice with You: Why has the way of the wicked prospered? Why are all those who deal in treachery at ease? (2) You have planted them, they have also taken root; They grow, they have even produced fruit. You are near to their lips But far from their mind. (3) But You know me, O LORD; You see me; And You examine my heart's attitude toward You. Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter And set them apart for a day of carnage!

Jeremiah's inquiry of the Lord God on this question mirrors the concerns of many today regarding the sense of unfair toleration of wrong-doers. We see this same equation play out every day, right before our eyes!

I'm reminded of the parable of the Wheat and Tares spoken by Jesus in {Matthew 13: 24-30}; A land owner planted good seed and along came enemies who planted bad seed with the good while the owner slept. Once the two seeds sprouted, sharp eyes could tell that the Tares did not belong. Workers recommended removing the Tares, but the owner advised to let both grow to maturity allowing no mistaking one from the other. Telling his slaves to gather all of the Tares first, bundle them and burn them. This leaving the good Wheat finally free of the bad seed.

At harvest time, our Lord will separate the Good Sheep to the right hand, and the Bad Goats to the left of His throne. {Mat 25:32-33, 46} The Bad Goats will go away into eternal punishment while the Good Sheep will enter Eternal joy and eternal life. Be assured by Holy Scripture that at the right time, the Lord will balance His books. Fret not, His Will be done!
