Disappointment

Today, I drove through at a fast food restaurant and ordered a diet coke. After I drove away, I took a sip and discovered I had been given root beer. I was disappointed as I had my heart set on the diet coke.

In the grand scheme of things, this was a minor disappointment and I quickly got over it. Unfortunately life deals us much greater disappointments. Betrayals, lost opportunities, personal tragedies and broken relationships are some of the biggest disappointments we face.

We all need someone or something we can count on. This needs to be an unchangeable rock we can trust. Psalm 27:1 says, “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Trust in God. He will not disappoint!

After 16 years of vocational ministry, God has called me to a simpler ministry. Now I just proclaim His truth simply to those who are open to hear it. God is speaking through His Word and His creation.
