Abraham asked this rhetorical question in a unique situation. Abraham said, “Far be it from you to do such a thing, to put the righteous to death with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be it from you! Shall not the judge of all the earth do what is just?” (Gen 18:25) 

This was the same struggle that Job’s friends had. Since Job was suffering, they assumed that he was in the wrong and that there was surely some wickedness in him. 

Abraham asks the simple question, “Shall not the judge of all the earth do what is right?” But the question is not so simple. Abraham has his idea of what is the right action for God. His idea is based on what is good for him and his nephew. 

God has his own criteria, and his own agenda. You may be frustrated, scared, or confused. Just know that God is in control and he does as he pleases.
