When Life Disappoints You.


Have you ever found yourself in a position where everything you planned fell apart?  You had everything in order and organized accordingly, but one bad report or one bad phone call threw everything out of place.  Unforeseen and unexpected, but it happened.  Have you ever planned for the future but something so tragic occurred that threatened your previous plans?  What you prepared for and what actually happened were two different scenarios.  Have you ever shared beautiful wedding vows with the person of your dreams only to later find yourself at the point of divorce because the vows have not been upheld?  The words sounded so good to your ears but the actions and promises never followed.  Have you ever wondered if things would get better?

This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you.  My friend, what do you do When Life Disappoints You?  How do you handle the hurdles and obstacles, which come with life?  Do you give up and surrender or do you stand still and declare the Word of God?  Do you run and hide or do you rebuke and denounce every demonic assault?  What do you do?  The Bible declares in Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  You must understand just because life disappoints you does not mean the plan God has for your life now ends.  Sometimes disappointments push you further into your destiny and purpose.  If you never taste pain, hurt, betrayal or disappointment by man, you will never truly appreciate the love of God.
My brother, my sister, what do you do When Life Disappoints You?  It is at that point you should seek the Lord for His instructions.  Sometimes life disappoints us because we place our trust in things we thought we had under control.  Beloved, God will never allow any person, any place or any thing to provide for you the way He desires to do so.  The Bible declares in Proverbs 16:9 - A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the LORD directeth his steps.  Disappointment will always follow when we attempt to do things our own way and not surrender to the way of God.  Disappointment is a feeling of dissatisfaction that results when your expectations are not realized.  Do not allow disappointment to rob you of the purpose God has for you.  Prayer for Today: Father, help me to overcome all disappointments I experience in life.  No matter what happens, Your plan for my life is perfect.  In the name of Jesus … Amen! 
Scripture Reading for Today: Isaiah 55:8-11.

Take no OFFENCE in little things.

Question: "How can I learn not to take offense at little things?" Answer: Trying to not take offense is like trying to not think about elephants. If someone says, “Don’t think about elephants,” we automatically think about them. If we focus on trying not to take offense, we will keep thinking about the offense. This principle applies to just about any sin a person can commit. When we focus on a behavior, even in an attempt to eliminate it, the result is more of that behavior. This is just how our minds work. Thankfully, there is another, better way to address this problem. People are lured and enticed into sin as a result of desire—wanting is the beginning of sinning (James 1:14). Every sin or bad behavior begins with desire. Desire itself is not bad; there are many good desires. But the desires that lead to sin are wrong desires, the desires based in false perspectives and misplaced expectations about others and ourselves. To eliminate a bad behavior, we must first dis...
