"I want justice, too!"

EDWIN G. LEEVER

What about the individual—for example, one of the large silent majority we hear so much about today—who has no group, or even a person, to champion his cause and see that he is justly treated?

"I want justice, too!" he tells himself. It tears him up when his kids aren't treated right at school, when he is unfairly discriminated against at work, when his tax money is thrown away, and when he is taken advantage of by some individual, company, or, even worse, computer. Who's speaking up for him?

God is. For him, and you, and me, and everyone. God speaks up by revealing to all of us that He does not sanction any injustice. We read in the Bible: "Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?"^{Job 34:12, 29;} "He is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict."^37:23;
