—Ezekiel 18:25-29

Do you ever judge God’s actions based on human reasoning? Apparently the Israelites did so, saying that because God did not act as they thought He should that His ways were not just. God was quick to remind them of their own injustice and to show that His way is compassionate. Often humans think about the character of God in a disjointed way. We cannot imagine that someone could be all of the things that God is, so we assume that when He is one thing, He cannot also be another thing. But God is not like humans. He is just AND merciful; He is wholly loving AND completely holy; He is righteous AND kind; and He is faithful beyond measure.
