Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?
—Genesis 18:25
Do you believe God is in charge: all-knowing, all-seeing, all-powerful? That’s a “yes” or “no” question, not a question with conditions attached: not, “Well, yes I believe that . . . but . . .”
Another question: Do you trust God to do the right thing? “Will not the Judge of all the earth do right?” asked Abraham (Gn 18:25). It was a rhetorical question, the obvious answer being, “Of course he will.” Do you believe that?
If you believe God is all-powerful and that he will do what is right, that’s quite enough to ensure a calm and peaceful life.
When people listen to you talk, do they hear faith or fear? If they could read your thoughts, would they see serenity or despair?
Put some zip in your faith.
Don’t leave for Home without it.
