"Is There Injustice With God?" - Have Confidence in Jehovah's Justice

The Bible does not address every question regarding Jehovah's actions in the past; nor does it provide every detail about how Jehovah will render judgment concerning individuals and groups in the future.  When we are puzzled by accounts or prophecies in the Bible where such detail is lacking, we can display the same loyalty as did the prophet Micah, who wrote:  "I will show a waiting attitude for the God of my salvation." -Micah 7:7. 

We can be confident that in every situation, Jehovah will do what is right.  Even when injustices are seemingly  ignored by man, Jehovah promises:  "Vengeance is mine; I will repay." (Romans 12:19)  If we show a  waiting attitude, we will echo the firm conviction expressed by the apostle Paul: "Is there injustice with God? Never may that become so!" -Romans 9:14. 

In the meantime, we live in "critical times hard to deal with."  ( 2 Timothy 3:1)   Injustice and "acts of oppression" have resulted in many cruel abuses.  (Ecclesiastes 4:1)  However, Jehovah has not changed.  He still hates injustice, and he cares deeply for those who are victims  of it.  If we remain loyal to Jehovah and his sovereignty, he will give us the strength to endure until the appointed time when he will correct all injustices under his Kingdom rule. -1 Peter 5:6, 7.
