Disappointment!

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth."

From time to time I blog on Sundays. On those days I'm finding a type of healing by taking my fingers across the keyboard. Today is no different. My brother introduced me to Pink Floyd's music when we were teenagers. I was more (still am) of a dance music, top 40, and contemporary Christian music listener. Pink Floyd had a song titled "Wish You Were Here" and it has been a song that my brother and me identify our relationship in many ways through the lyrics. I'm listening to the song right now, I had to put it in my MP3 player. I love my brother very much.

So today's topic, disappointment. I've found that disappointments always come in life. People will inevitably let you down. And you can't always have your way in life. Today as I dealt with, what I perceive in my mind, a huge disappointment I was reminded that God will help me to overcome the way I felt about the circumstance. I couldn't change it but I could change how I thought about it and I could definitely be patient to act, rather than react.

Last night or maybe it was early this morning when I got back from star gazing I came across Hebrews 13:5-6, verse 6 states "So we say with confidence, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?'" I do not stand in fear or disappointment of man for very long but I KNOW that God wants what is best for me and when I hurt, He hurts. I will continue to seek His face each morning and thank Him each night for a blessed day. Being in His will has changed the way I feel, act or react, and think about much of life's disappointments and joys. Brother Lammie Lammersfield says, "Get down under the water spout where the glory runs out."

I cried this afternoon over my disappointment but then I let the water of His fountain flow over my soul, cleanse and renew me then I felt better. Still hurt but knowing that God will runneth my cup over for being obedient to Him.
