It's Not Fair

Psalms 99-101

"It's not fair" is a constant refrain when children are around... and some adults too. One of the arguments that atheists often use in debates is that if God is good, then why do bad things happen to good people. Hidden beneath this argument is a foundational assessment that "It's not fair." Guess they never considered Psalm 99.
Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established fairness.
As the author of fairness, God defines what is and isn't fair. He sees the whole picture... he knows aspects of the situation that we never even considered. Life is fair... we just might not realize it.
