Life is not fair

Reading Ecclesiastes is a huge reminder that "Life is NOT fair". God's chosen people were forced into slavery by evil which God allowed. There's a right time and way for everything. It's true that no one knows what's going to happen, or when. Life leads to death that life, while it lasts, will soon be over. There's an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth. A right time for birth and another for death. A right time to plant and another to reap. A right time to get sick and another to heal. A right time to cry and another to laugh, A right time to lament and another to cheer. A right time to make love and another to abstain. A right time to embrace and another to part, A right time to search and another to count your losses. A right time to hold on and another to let go. A right time to rip out and another to mend. A right time to shut up and another to speak up. A right time to love and another to hate. Posts in this thread appear to be that people are corrupting their thoughts with their wishful images of God. Little by little every unscriptural methods will appear to grieve the Spirit and stifle the life of Christians. A Christian may be theologically knowing and spiritually ignorant at the same time. God is good is not the same as God is GREAT. God is an awesome God but at the same time, He has a plan. God is never in a hurry and God will do whatever He decides to do simply because He is GOD. The paths God are true and right, and the wise people live by walking in them. The wise should boast alone because they truly know God and understand that God is the Lord who is Just and Righteous, whose Love is unfailing, and that God delight in these things. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. *Romans 15:13 Overflowing hope is the gift of the God of hope by the power of the Spirit. It is that hope that carries us through the difficult experiences of life. In the time of death Paul was very brave because he had firm confidence in the final outcome. "For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake," he said, but his heart remained cheerful knowing that "our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all" (2 Corinthians 4:11,17). Faith is confidence in the character of God, and hope is the sweet anticipation of desirable things promised but not yet realized. Hope is a gift from the heavenly Father "who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope" (2 Thessalonians 2:16). The Christian's hope is sound because it is founded upon the character of God and the redeeming work of His Son Jesus Christ. For this reason Peter could call it "a living hope" (1 Peter 1:3). It is living because it rests on reality and not on fancy. It is not wishful dreaming but vital expectation with Jesus Christ behind it. Faith in Christ, in His Character and His will is the key to complete faith.
