Life isn't always fair

Greetings:
Life is supposed to be fair and just.  At times it is not.
We must understand and accept the reality that the rain falls on the just and the unjust as it says in Matthew 5:45.
In this life, at times the wicked prosper, and other times the righteous reign victorious.
Our hope has to remain in Jesus.
We believe he will settle all accounts, avenge all wrongs, and make all things fair and just. But in the meantime, things will be out of balance, unfair, and unjust. Thus, we must accept the reality of being in a fallen world, and we must then look forward to the day when Christ will make all things right. We will be rewarded for our faithfulness and stewardship because God sees all.
Paul says in Philippians 4:7, “And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
We must remember that we are not God, and we don’t have all understanding.  However, we can have His peace despite our lack of understanding as we trust God that He will help us know what we need to know. 
Peace makes it possible for us to have rest even when things don’t make sense to us.
This internal tranquility and comfort require that we trust God; that we rest in His plan; that we cast our cares upon Him; and that we accept the fact that sometimes we just do not understand what God is doing.
Be blessed.
