Some people just don't get it; they take temporal things way too seriously. I am thinking of things like promotions--at work, in an organization, at school; traffic situations; sports; politics; health--that part which is beyond one's control; in short, anyplace where the word "fair" might be used. I can't help but think that Americans are the ones who offend God the most in this matter. This is not only unwise, at best, showing one's lack of maturity. "The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression." (Proverbs 19:11, KJV)

"Going to bat for" someone where the offense is personal is in the same category. Asking, one time, politely and respectfully whether certain factors were considered is not what I mean; though that, too, could. Asserting that one "should, or should not, have done a thing" is another way of asserting an injustice was done. "Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" (Genesis 18:25, KJV)

Those who clamor for justice would do well to remember that we do not truly want justice from God, but mercy.

Patience is one of those things, like humility, that disappear whenever one claims to have had it. In fact, to the extent that it is not part of one's life is a guarantee that one will have more opportunities to acquire it. I believe that "the trying of your faith" can be applied more broadly than most people think. Faith in anything, tangible or ethereal, other than God is idolatry. In case you didn't get it, that includes other people, institutions, ideas, and "the system." "Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." (James 1:3, KJV)

You say you can't wait for all things to be made right in eternity? You say you can't stand to see you child denied some earned reward? "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord." (Romans 12:19, KJV)

"Will a man rob God?" (Malachi 3:8, KJV)
