b'Injustice is everywhere; just look outside. It\\u2019s hard not to see injustice.\\nWhy does God allow it? Humans have been wondering this for a long time.\\nPsalm 73 was written by Asaph and records his struggles as he considers the\\nwicked and those with callous hearts and evil imaginations. He sees how\\nthey are prosperous, healthy, and don\\u2019t have basic human burdens. Why would\\nGod allow this? Where is He? The wicked prosper while the innocent are\\ntrampled. Asaph wonders if he labored in vain to keep his heart pure.\\nBut, in trying to understand all this, Asaph enters the sanctuary of God.\\n\\u201cThen I understood their final destiny,\\u201d he says in verse 17. Asaph\\nrealizes that, though the wicked may seem safe and untouched, they will be\\njudged. God comes as an avenger, and in the end, He will repay them for\\ntheir deeds. \\nWe can learn a lot from Asaph. We see all the injustice in the world and\\ncan\\u2019t help but wonder why God would allow it to happen. But when we\\nunderstand the final destiny of evil, it\\u2019s easier to\\ncomprehend. God will one day destroy all evil. He is the Just God. It would\\nbe against His character to ignore injustice. That\\u2019s why He sent Jesus to\\nbecome human, die on the cross, and be raised from the dead. Through His\\nwork, He has defeated death and sin and evil, and one day He will return to\\ndestroy all injustice\\u2014permanently\\u2014and restore His creation.\\nWe have all participated in evil and injustice. Everyone has been infected\\nby the curse of sin. But the amazingly good news is that God provided a way\\nfor justice to prevail and for mercy to be given. He sent His Son, Jesus,\\nto pay the price for you so that if you believe in Him, you will be\\nforgiven and restored. While evil may shudder at the thought of judgment,\\nif we are in Christ, we can rest satisfied that God the Just will follow\\nthrough, and His justice will prevail. \\u2022 Emma Pamer\\n\\u2022 Has something unjust ever happened to you, and if so, how did you feel?\\nJesus has compassion on us, and He invites us to tell Him about all these\\nhard things, knowing that He also suffered injustice on earth, and He came\\nto set things right. In addition to talking to Jesus, who are safe\\npeople\\u2014such as parents, counselors, teachers, friends, or youth leaders\\u2014you\\ncan talk to about these experiences?\\n\\u2022 How can we find hope in the fact that (1) God is the avenger of evil and\\nHe will not let evil win, and (2) God is also merciful and forgives sinners\\nthrough Jesus Christ?\\nAnd the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for he is a God of justice.\\nPsalm 50:6 (NIV)\\n\\xa0\\nRead Verses:\\nPs.73|Rom.16.20|Ps.50.6'
