Fair treatment does not always get the results

Monday December 12th, Isaiah 61: 8 "Because I, GOD, love fair dealing and hate thievery and crime, I'll pay your wages on time and in full, and establish my eternal covenant with you. 9 Your descendants will become well-known all over. Your children in foreign countries will be recognized at once as the people I have blessed." Power works in solving problems in the short run. We are not reaping the results of power, financially and politically and it is not a pretty sight. In the long run, integrity wins the day. If you treat others fairly, that will be remembered, not just for a generation, but for generations. Short term solutions tend to result in long term problems. Fair treatment does not always get the results you want when “you” want them, it is a gift however to your children, your grandchildren and your great-grandchildren. On the other hand, our short term solutions have left them mounds of debt and distrust and a planet in dire straits. Short term power solutions, like chocolate, sure seem good, but in God’s time and in God’s mind, honesty, integrity and fair dealing win the day.
