Life Is Just Not Fair
Psalm 130
Penitence
Reasons to praise God because life isn't fair :
1. The Way He Listens
When we cry out, He listens!
Just because you don't listen doesn't mean he doesn't.
Psalm 50:15 call upon Me in your day of trouble.
2. The Way He Forgives
We've all done unjust and crooked things.
Romans 3:23 all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 wages of sin is death.
There is forgiveness with You.
Exodus 34:6 God is merciful.
3. The Way He Heals Us
We all come to Jesus broken.
Salvation happens in an instance, but deliverance is a process.
He seeks to conform us into the image of His Son.
3 postures if you want healing : waiting, hoping + watching.
Waiting : seek him daily, ask forgiveness daily.
Hoping: hope in His word.
Watch: expectantly.
Sometimes it's darkest before dawn.
It's not going to be quick or in an instant.
It's not fair, it's better than that, it's God's grace!!
4. The Way He Helps You Make Good
We carry regret + remorse over things we've done in the past.
God gives us opportunity to make good on the bad we've done!
Abundant redemption!
There's not just redemption but a thousand ways to be set free!
Joel 2:25 I will restore to you what the locusts have eaten.
Ephesians 4:28 let him who stole steal no more and use your hands to make restitution.
**There can be a bright future even after your biggest failure.**
What you've received you can help other people avoid doing what you did.
Reception
Reconciliation
Restoration
Redemption
Who's going to pay for all this??
REDEEMER!!!
Life is just, but not fair.
