It doesn’t matter how unjust people are, truth prevails. At times, in fact, often, people succeed in their injustice. But successes based on a lie crumbles. Truth always breaks through no matter how deeply people try to bury it. Yes, evil is troubling, but because we live in the greater sphere of the eternal, invisible, and spiritual, we see reality in much broader perspective. Truth and justice prevails; at times, immediately; at times, in a much later date.
God’s delays are not denials. Many of us have heard that before. Truth is: delay is from human perspective. From God’s viewpoint, everything’s right on time. God’s timing is impeccable. They are perfect, even in execution of justice. Everything is planned; everything’s brilliantly strategized. He has a reason truth and justice comes here and now; He also has a purpose why they come later–later, but not late.
God’s children aren’t easy to discourage. Yes; we see the immense problem. We don’t deny the abuse of power from people in position. It can be disturbing and unsettling. We’re not called to just passively observe the monstrous wrongs done against innocent people. We move; we act; we engage. As we do, we have faith for victory, and victory is what we have. How can we say that when people on the side of what’s good, right, and godly are the victims of terribly unfair treatments? Let me point it out again: it’s because we see things from eternal perspective. They may be “losers” in the eyes of the world, but whatever God allows, we rest assured that He does so because it’s for our good, and it serves His purpose. That’s joy and victory for us.
Our Lord Jesus was very clear: the world hates us. A good treatment from the world is an exception. It’s an anomaly. They hated our Lord; they hate us. When dealing with us, they’re not after what’s true and just; they’re after getting rid of us. And since we are people of truth and justice, law and order, they want us out. Why not? We are the light of the world. We expose their deeds of darkness. Instead of cleaning up their filth, they try to extinguish the light. That’s why even in their justice system, they don’t like sheer truthful witnesses; they look for false witnesses. They don’t see anything wrong with that; they don’t feel guilty about it. They’re not after truth; they’re after destroying us.
What? What kind of justice system is that? That’s the world. They have the appearance of being good; that’s how they build their appeal. People are deceived by them–a lot of people. They don’t look for all evidences; they only look for evidences that they can use to justify their dishonesty. That’s why they don’t mind lies, fraud, deceit, and suppression. That’s why they don’t have any conscience to see that bearing false witness is absolutely wrong. But believers expose their true image.
Knowing we can be in trouble, we continue to steadfastly take our stand. We operate in a different justice system–a perfect system, an incorruptible system, a pure system. It’s the Supreme.Court of the Supreme Courts. The Judge is no other than our Lord Jesus–King of Kings, Lord of Lords. In that court, everyone is judged
perfectly. Everything is laid bare before the presence of our omniscient Judge. He knows the real deal. He knows every person’s involvement.
Just because people in power, influence, and authority here on earth are able to tweak results to turn in their favor, it doesn’t mean they’re really successful. They lose. They don’t know that; we do. There’s power, authority, and influence infinitely greater than all of earth’s movers, shakers, and puppeteers. We have the Supreme Court of heaven. The “buck” stops there. They have the ultimate say. And as we continue to stand for Him–for what’s good, what’s right, what’s true, just, and godly–we win; we really win; we always win.
