  1. One of the great cries of people through the ages has been: “It’s just not fair!” • When we perceive that we have been mistreated • When we suffer hardship • When we face injustice • When someone we love dies • When we face evil

  2. Life Is Not Fair! Just look at what God said life would bring: • Oppression & injustice – Eccl. 4:1-3 • Envy, jealously, strife between neighbors – Eccl. 4:4 • Those blessed with wealth often unable to enjoy it - Eccl. 6:1-2 • Righteous suffering while wicked go unpunished –Eccl. 7:15

  3. How do we cope with the “unfairness” of life? Isa. 40:27-31 • Do we really think the Lord does not see our hurt or care about our pain – v. 27 • God is not like men who grow weary & require rest – v. 28 • He see & care about what is happening to us – v. 28 • God gives strength to those who ask Him – v. 29

  4. The problem is that more often than not we call on God while relying on our own abilities! Isa. 40:30 • We even sing, “I did it my way” • We try to do it “my way” in our personal lives and sin reigns in us – Rom. 1:21-26 • We try to do it “my way” in worship and worship becomes vain – Mat. 15:9

  5. What we must learn to do is trust the Lord, serve Him faithfully, and wait patiently for God to do it His way! Isa. 40:31 • Who could have imagined God’s eternal plan to redeem men by the death of His Son – Isa. 64:4-5 God’s way will lead us to eternal life! - John 10:7-11

  6. That is why we need Jesus!
