Ep. 118 | That's Not Fair
Description
"That's not fair!"
If you're anything like me then you've said this phrase at some point in life. Yet, what does fair actually mean? That everyone should have the same housing, talent, looks, and destiny?
No two people even have identical opportunity, and yet society will tell you that everyone should have the same opportunity. In today's episode, we discuss how damaging it can be to buy into the idea of "fairness" instead of looking through the lens of justice.
The idea of fairness is very subjective and highly emotional. Due to this dynamic, when you feel victim to something not being fair you open yourself up for bitterness, resentment, and offense. These are tactics from the enemy because it's evident that bitterness, resentment, and offense will not set you up to succeed.
Remember, God has put everything in place for you to succeed in your life purpose. The purpose of life is not just trying to survive but to live a life that brings glory to his kingdom and is attractively different.
Key Takeaways:
- When there's not a Hebrew equivalent for an English word then that concept doesn't exist
- Thinking with this mindset will create offense and block the kingdom from flowing
- The Bible does speak to justice and being just.
- Remove the phrase "that's not fair" from your verbiage and way of thinking and instead think in terms of justice.
