Thoughts on Disappointment

Well, the past few weeks have been rough to handle. It was all capped off today when it seems like things are hitting an all time low. It's a long story, and I'm sure you don't enjoy pity parties anymore than I do...

It's amazing how we can be so cenetered on our circumstances and forget one of the greatest promises of Scripture: 'Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.'

The more I pray and meditate on the Word, the more I am beginning to realize that it is my attitude about life that is disfunctional, not God's sovereignty. Nothing about Christ has changed...He is just as perfect, wonderful, amazing, as He was yesterday and will continue to be this way on in to eternity. So though today, I feel disappointed with the hand life has dealt me I can be confident that His mercies are new every morning...so with that, I look forward to waking up tomorrow morning to the same Savior I have for the past 9 years. For even when we are faithless, He remains faithful.

It never has been nor ever will be a question of God's faithfulness to us. It's a question of our heart's faithfulness to Him. Will we have joy and rejoice in our trials just as much as we do when things "go right"? It's all part of sanctification, right Julian! Praise God He's doing a work in your heart. Glorify Him especially when you're in the depths of despair.

Lifting you up in prayer,
