Ever Been Diappointed?

Disappointments in life are normal. The issue is how we dealproperly with disappointments and avoid growing disappointedwith life itself. When disappointments come, we should allow them to draw us closer to the God of all comfort. We should allow them to remind us that this world is not our home, and that one day, we will be with the Lord. That is true for all who have put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. But when disappointments in this life are not handled properly, were in danger of growing bitter towards God. We begin blaming God for what happens in our lives. God calls on us to take responsibility for our behavior. He calls upon us to repent and turn to Him in faith. When we fail to take personal responsibility for our actions, we must find someone else to blame. Once we begin blaming others, it is just a short step to blaming God.

Some of us have seen or experienced things in our lives that have produced a level of disappointment with God. He hasn't come through in the way we thought He should. Perhaps you came to Christ and found that circumstances didn't magically change. Life is still a struggle - maybe even more so. Maybe you have refused to become a Christian because you see in the world problems and disappointment that ought to be rectified if there really was a God. There are many who think they are atheists or agnostics, but in reality they are just disappointed with God.

Remember: People will disappoint you in life. You will disappoint others. You will even disappoint God at times!

(Proverb 3:5) "Trust in the LORD with all thy heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding."
