Not Equal and Not Fair

Ghetto theology always ends up looking like democratic rhetoric.  Everybody needs a hand.  Everybody needs the same rights.  Everybody needs a chicken.  I hate it.  All this talk about an even playing field when no one ever ask the all important question.  Who made the playing field uneven in the first place.  All over the bible, I see God handing out gifts severally as he will. He gives ten then five and then one.  I don't see where he is bound by this false rule of equality that says he must give everyone the same thing.  If this is true, than is it not God who made the playing field uneven.  Why should we then kick against the pricks.  God chose one nation of people.  God favored one tribe to be priest.  God chose one tribe to send the Messiah.  God is not equal.  Then I hear that God has to be fair.  What he does for one he must do for all.  God saved the Israelites.  God drowned Pharaoh.  God is not fair.  Now, I don't have a problem with God not being fair or equal.  It is his divine wisdom that understands and knows what we can handle and how we profit from his gifts.  He is all knowing.  He knows where he will gain and he knows where his time will be wasted.  Everything good comes from him and was made by him therefore, we must not be thieves, speaking over things we do not own.  The earth is the Lords and the fullness thereof.  His ownership gives him the divine right to do just as he pleases without apology or explanation.  We may not like it, but God is not bound to be equal or fair.  The best way to live is with your eyes on your own talent.
