When life is unfair, GOD is good

We began attending another Vacation Bible School (VBS) last night. Last night's lesson was about how life is often unfair. Some of the kids shared about a time in his/her life when things didn't seem fair: when a sibling got a toy and they didn't. When someone was chosen for something and they weren't. When someone got to do something and they didn't. Life isn't always fair.

Then, we heard a story about a young boy from Zambia, Africa, who has to walk to get clean water, who lives with four others in a tiny, little hut, who has to walk a mile and a half to go to a community school. He certainly has his challenges, and, when compared to what we have been blessed with here in America, it certainly seemed unfair.

Today's word is the theme from last night's VBS, which simply said, "Even when life seems unfair, GOD is good."

GOD is Good all the time. And, all the time, GOD is Good. We may not think that things are just or fair or equal but that doesn't change the fact that GOD is working all thing for our good, or that He has a plan for us, or that He died for us to give us a future. I deserved to die for my sins, yet, JESUS sacrificed Himself for me. I didn't deserve that either but He gave it to me anyway.

We will all have those moments in our lives when things are just flat out unfair. There will be those moments when it seems that everyone else is getting ahead while we are being left behind. But, the truth is, when we think about all we have, especially all we have to come, we can truly say, "Even when life seems unfair, GOD is good.

Be Blessed,
