When they had been there many days, Festus laid Paul's case before the king, saying: "There is a certain man left a prisoner by Felix, about whom the chief priests and the elders of the Jews informed me, when I was in Jerusalem, asking for a judgment against him.
Acts 25:14-15

Felix, Festus, and now Agrippa II. The groundless case against Paul had passed through three sets of hands by this time. Over two years had passed. How the wheels of justice can turn ever so slowly! And of course, the longer legal matters drag on, the less likely justice will even be served. How easy it would have been for Paul to lose heart. But God. Paul was ever mindful that the Sovereign over all who exists is in complete control of all things. Yes, even over flawed human legal systems.

Legal matters that are rushed often ignore justice. Emotional haste can often result in the innocent being condemned while the guilty watch in silence. That is not good. On the other end of the spectrum, so called justice systems that take inordinately too long tend to evade justice and passively condemn the accused to prolonged imprisonment without a verdict.

As is often the case, the sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. But regardless, God will have the final word. And as long as we live in this world tainted by injustice of every sort, let us be encouraged that God will judge righteously, at precisely the right time of His choosing.
