"What's Fairness"

"Who has understood the mind of the Lord, or instructed him as his counselor? Whom did the
consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way?  Who was it that taught him knowledge or showed him the path of understanding?"
                           Isaiah 40:13-14

      Have you ever walked into a room halfway through somrone else's argument and been asked for your opinion? It's impossible to respond. You don't have all the facts. You don't fully appreciated both sides of the argument and,  therefore, you can't give a just verdict.   
     Trying to discern or not  God is fair in any given situation is much like walking into a room
halfway through someone else's argument. For one  thing, you don't have all the facts, and you won't have them until you get to the other side of 
eternity. Besides, "fairness"is imppossible to grasp because you are unequipped to appreciate the hidden purposes God has in mind.
     Those who don't believe in God may be presumptuous enough to play the "fairness" game,
but Christian know better. The World's definition of fairness is based on the sliding scale of society's 
values and the Changing will of the majority. But God doesn't buy that drfinition. That's why He will, however, always maintain His justice. Justice, unlike fairness. is based on the unchanging principles if His Word.
The "fairness doctrine" is based on a person's limited valued system and timebath is different. 
So bow to His justice, trust in His love, and forget
about fairness.
