Is God Impartial With Everyone?

GOD, how long do I have to cry out for help before you listen? How many times do I have to yell, "Help! Murder! Police!" before you come to the rescue? Why do you force me to look at evil, stare trouble in the face day after day? Anarchy and violence break out, quarrels and fights all over the place. Law and order fall to pieces. Justice is a joke. The wicked have the righteous hamstrung and stand justice on its head.

Maybe that’s not exactly your complain, it may be that the girl that sits beside you in class sleeps with the lecturers to pass her exams, or that your colleague in the office sleeps with your superiors and gets promotions or that your rival bribes his way into getting that contract or many other distressing situations like that. Sometimes, there is this lingering question in your mind – is God impartial with everyone?

Sometimes we think that God has human weakness like getting tired, being bored, wandering away or even ignorant of what we are experiencing. The truth is if we look back how God has been involved with us in the past, we will realise He has never been late, even though He did not come the time we expect Him. Yet He always answered at the right time and in the right way.

God promises may seem too good to be true when we face those distressing situations and tiring conditions. However, these promises are to encourage us when we are struggling not to give up. God knows where we are. He will help us today just as He has helped others before us. You know what; God assures us that no matter how bleak a situation looks, God will never leave us helpless. He would strengthen and uphold us, when all else fails.

Then is again as Paul ask (Romans 8:31-39) – what can separate us from the love of God? I'm absolutely convinced that nothing - nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable - absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that Jesus our Master has loved us.

God is never late, He never fails, as Paul we should boldly say it – nothing can drive a wedge between Christ’s love and us. Our only responsibility is to stay faithful and trust that He will help us get through the crisis, stronger than when we started.
