Life certainly has its ups and downs. It seems to me, that people, circumstances, and life has a way of disappointing us.
Someone mentioned to me the other day, 'if I don't have expectations, then I won't have disappointments.' This statement caught my attention.
So, if I have expectations with people and they fail, then I get disappointed. If I have expectations around a trying circumstance and it falls apart, I get disappointed. This is so true.
However, if I have only expectations in God, HE NEVER DISAPPOINTS.
What a great revelation to my heart... God never disappoints us because he always, faithfully, lives up to our expectations.
God is there to listen to our hearts. God wants to answer our prayers. God supports us in our failures. God is there in our circumstances. God longs to encourage us with the Word of God.
What a great God we serve.
On a personal note, I have struggled with disappointments lately and have learned again...
'Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge God and He will make your pathway straight' and never disappoint you.
Have you been disappointed by circumstances or people... remember, God is always there to live up to our expectations, that is why He is a loving God...
Enjoy your week
