Disappointment

Unfortunately, people may disappoint us from time to time. They may fail to live up to the promises they have made. Or they may intentionally do something that hurts us. Even more unfortunate, is the fact that I have disappointed people. Often, I have not lived up to my own expectations, let alone the reasonable expectations others have for me. As Jesus said, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” (Matthew 26:41) We may even fail to do the good things that we want to do.

Psalm 73:26 says, “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Even when we give our full and best effort, we may fail at times. We may grow weary also at times. But God never fails and He will never disappoint us. When we trust in His strength, He will lift our hearts to fulness of joy. By His power, we can do the good things that we are called to do.
