Whether it was a relationship gone bad, a goal unmet or summer plans ruined, we all face disappointment. For some, though, the wounds of disappointment go much deeper... to divorce, death of a close friend or loved one, house foreclosure, car repossession, rejection letters, unforeseen diagnoses, you name it. We make plans and set goals for our lives but the reality is that things don't always happen the way we wanted or planned for them to.
When painful things happen in our lives, it is easy to wonder what went wrong? Where was God? How could God let this happen? And if we aren't careful, we'll make the false assumption that God has failed us.
Well, my dear friend, I felt led to remind or inform you that GOD WILL NEVER FAIL!!!
For 25 years Abraham waited for an glimmer of hope that he would be the father of many nations...
For 40 years Moses and the Israelites waited and wandered in the wilderness trying to get to the land that God promised them. There were several times when they would have rather been in slavery where they WERE than to go through the wilderness to get to where God wanted them to go. The attitude that they had because they felt failed by God was the very thing that prolonged His promise.
For 30 years, Jesus may have felt like God failed Him because He didn't start his ministry until He was 30 years old. THEN for at least 3 days, He laid in a tomb until He rose from the dead.
So whether it's been 3 days or 40 years that you have wondered if God has failed or forgotten you... please know that God has done NEITHER!!! God has not failed you. God has not forgotten you, He is simply putting all the pieces in place for His plan to unfold in your life. So wait patiently. Give God that disappointment and keep trusting, keep loving, keep believing!!! God will never fail!!!
