A Daily Devotional About
when God disappoints: Matthew Disappointment in God is both good and bad. Expectations about God are good. Having the the wrong kind of expectations about God is bad. When God seems to disappoint us, we must remember God loves us and we can be wrong about what we think God should do or who we think God should be. God did not bring us into the world so He could serve us. Instead, God brought each of us into the world to freely and willfully serve Him. God brought each of us into His world to glorify the world in His name. If you look at the world with the perspective of each person, including you, was brought into the world to glorify God, you can see how much we must surely disappoint God. When God seems to disappoint you, remember your true mission in life is to be His humble servant. When God does not do what you think He should do, or when God does not do what you pray for Him to do, remember you are to always seek out and do His will. When God seems to disappoint you, God seems to disappoint because you are expecting God to do or to be what is not in His will. God never disappoints you just to hurt you. God withholds what you think you want or need to help you grow up, up, up, and eventually grow into Heaven. When God seems to disappoint you, you must remember God does not work at a drive up window handing out whatever we pray for or whatever we order in our prayers. When God disappoints you, remember you are the one who works at a drive up window in His name, giving out His blessings, giving out His love, giving out His compassion, and giving out His forgiveness. |
