The Lord is righteous in all He does

“Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.” - Daniel 9v14

How do we know what to do when it seems like God is really “messing things up?” Lets be honest, do we ever get “cheesed off” at God for not doing things the way we think He should?

Overcoming this requires a measure of faith to know that whatever He is doing is right. There are times when this requires what I once heard referred to as “raw faith” -the ability to dig down deep and simply trust God.

How do we do that? First of all we must have absolute, 100% faith in the word of God. If God says it in His word we must choose to accept it. Actually, this is vital in every aspect of our Christian life.

Here though, in order accept how God works we must accept the truth of “the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which He doeth.” Only when we can learn the truth of this can we accept the things that don’t “seem right” to us.

He is God after all – He sees the whole picture. He knows what is best. He ALWAYS does the right thing.
