THE JOY OF DISAPPOINTMENT READ: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. -Proverbs 3:5 THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 89-90 Romans 14 While in Bible college, I auditioned for one of the school's travelling musical exams. I was excited about the thought of being able to be involved in that ministry, but was crushed when I failed to make the team. In my disappointment, I could only trust that God's purposes were greater than mine. Months later, I had the opportunity to join a different musical team, but as the Bible teacher. The results were more than I could have imagined. Not only was my future wife a part of that team, allowing us to serve Christ together, but it also gave me many opportunities to preach over the next 3 years - priceless preparation for a life of ministry in the Word. Many times we struggle with the reality that our Father knows what is best. We assume our way is right. But, as we rest in Him, His purposes always prove to be for our good and His praise. To be honest, that's easy to see when the outcome is better than we had hoped, but difficult when we can't see the good right now or maybe won't till heaven. As wise King Solomon said, "Trust in the LORD will all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6). - Bill Crowder Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land. I am weak, but Thou art mighty; Hold me with Thy powerful hand. - Williams God's purpose for today's events may not be seen until tomorrow. |
