God is Not Fair
“But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
Titus 3:4-5

Ponder This
God is sovereign. He does as He pleases. God answers to no one. We must respect that God is God. And remember this: God is not fair; God is just. If you think God has to be fair, you’re thinking God owes you something. If you don’t get it, you’re all upset. And if somebody else gets it before you do, or gets more than you do, then you’re upset because you think that God owes you something. God doesn’t owe us anything but judgment. God is not fair; He is just. When you realize that God is just and understand this rightly, then mercy is going to mean something to you.
God’s mercy is not rooted in Man’s merit. God’s mercy is found in God. If you want mercy, you can have it. God wills to show you mercy when you come to Him. He is a merciful God.
- When have you compared your life to others’ and struggled with the fairness of it? What did they have that you wanted? How are fairness and justice different?
- What was a time you were upset with or disappointed by God? While it is okay to be honest about our feelings with God, what is dangerous about having an entitled attitude or approach to God?
Practice This
Pray for a friend who is struggling. Ask God to make His mercy evident to that person.
