"I remembered thy judgments of old, O Lord; and have comforted myself.
Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law."
Psalms 119:52-53
Somtimes life is unjust. Perhaps more than sometimes, depending on our current struggles. When we're drawing on Christ's mercy, sometimes this is a good thing, and that's the reason that the Lord allows injustice, for now--so that we have time to change and repent, should we wish to do so. When we're suffering on the wrong end of injustice though, it can definitely involve some horror. However, we can comfort ourselves by remembering the judgements of God, because injustice is temporary. God will make everything right in the end.
Today, let's remember that God is a "perfect, just God" (Alma 42:15) just and that everything will be restored and right in the end, and trust in that. And when we're the cause of some injustice, then let's also remember that he is "a merciful God also" (Alma 42:15). Let's seek him out and repent so that when the justice comes, it doesn't destroy us. And whether we're wishing for justice or mercy today, let's all look forward to the perfect day to come, when everything is restored and no one has to live with horror.
