“After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands; And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God, Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.” ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭7:9-12‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I understand the frustration in seeing so much iniquity in the world. Please don't take my reply too much to heart. I'm not trying to be preachy.

From reading the Old Testament, I've often found myself wondering why hasn't God stepped in with His swift justice, just like in the days past - why delay the seemingly inevitable?

I can't help but think that using our own sense of justice and not relying on His is exactly what landed Adam and Eve out of the garden in the first place; they wanted to decide for themselves what was right and what was wrong.

However, we should be thankful that He is so long-suffering. We have all been given so many chances to correct our steps and turn from our sins. Otherwise there would be no such thing as adults in this world; every teenager would have been utterly destroyed as soon as the first public hair emerged.

But what we do know, is that He is just and He will not let iniquity go unpunished; just like His promises, His judgements have only been delayed, not revoked.

I pray for my frustrations daily and every day I seem to find something else that fumes me. I understand your feelings on God, but give Him a chance. You may not see His workings in the world right away, but I promise you that if you earnestly give Him an opportunity, you will see the beauty in His ways and how He works with you.

May God bless you

But you do it too. Everyone does. You judge, based on your own innate sense of right & wrong when deciding that your particular set of beliefs or rules is correct and others are wrong or immoral. It's why you're not a Muslim (for example) or jehovah's witness. The scripture that says not to lean upon your own understanding but it's your own understanding of the scripture that gives you your belief system to begin with. Just like determining where the sun is and what's grass and what's sand, it's your own senses you're forced to rely on. You're not using some higher understanding because that's to understand God and you can't do that.
