"Commit your way unto the LORD; Trust Also In HIM, And HE Shall Bring It To Pass."

Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?

(J.R. Miller, "A Message for the Day" 1901)

Far be it from YOU to do such a thing--
to kill the righteous with the wicked,
treating the righteous and the wicked
alike. Far be it from YOU! Will not 

the JUDGE of all the earth do right?" 

Genesis 18:25

Some people worry about the destiny 

of the Heathen, and ask if GOD can be just--

and do so and so. A great deal better solution 

of such perplexities, is Abraham's: 

"Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?" 

Surely we can trust HIM with all such 

things, and leave them in HIS hands.

Others have perplexity concerning 

the apparent lack of justness 

in the allotment of earth. Some holy 

people have little but trouble here--

and some wicked people have 

very much worldly favor. 

We have the same truth on which 

to rest all such seeming inequities. 

GOD will surely do right. What we call 

trouble, may have more real blessing 

in it, than what we call prosperity. 

Also, the end of life is not here. 

GOD has eternity in which to 

adjust the inequities.

There are other people who think 

that their own lot is very hard. 

They complain about their trials 

and disappointments, and are 

discontented with what GOD 

does for them and gives them. 

They say that GOD is good; 

yet they imply by their petulance, 

that HE is not good. This word 

of Abraham's should rebuke all 

such complaints. Sooner 

might the Heavens fall--

than that in any smallest thing, 

GOD could do anything but 

what is absolutely right and just.

"Commit your way unto the LORD; 
trust also in HIM--and HE shall bring 
it to pass." Psalm 37:5
