Devastation..Disappointment

How often in our lives are we devastated? Disappointed?

Everyone has experienced some state of disappointment, some sort of being devastated. The scariest part of being in this is it can lead us into despair, depression, and sin. Yes sin. We are so involved in our despair our pain that we look for outlets for comfort, we get caught up in our own situations thinking that we just cant get through this.

God is in control. God has a plan. He already knows the path you will chose for your life, its no surprise for Him. As I study Job, bless his heart, he did nothing to deserve pain or despair, matter of fact he did the opposite. He was righteous and obiediant to God. Satan approached God, God gave Satan permission to test Job. He lost his family, his wealth, even his health. One thing Job did that in our trials and devastations in life we rarely do, Job continued to trust God. He didnt allow the gloom and doom to get the best of Him, and God rewarded Him. Double.

Most of the time when we come to the cross roads in life of these trials we give in to the trial, it gets the best of us. We lose the courage to trust that God is still in Control and that He is able to pull us through. Before long, we easily can find ourself in so much sin... Our God is a compassionate God, He doesnt harbor anger as we do and :HE is forgiving. Micah 7:18-19 tells us just that.

Psalm 126 tells us that what we sew in tears we will reap in sheaves of joy.

We have to move past our devastation or disappoinments, go toward where God wants for you to be. Dont loose focus that God is God. He is the Almighty, the Maker of all things, Higher than all others.. He is not just some person that we can throw around. He is KING. We have to stopped whining around get up and do something about our devastation. Start by asking Him what He desires for you to do, where He wants for you to start. God blesses our obiediance. But we cant simply pick Him up when its convienant. We must trust in God, rely on Gods promise.

We are not worthy of Gods abundant grace and Mercy and often when God tries to bless us we just find ourself in disbelief, just like David. 2 Samuel 7 27-29 David confesses to God and finally has the courage to recieve what God is offering him.

Go to God, confess to Him where you have fallen short, ask Him to open the eyes of your heart so that you can hear what you can do for Him.

God blesses Obiediance. Make a choice to walk past your disappointments, have the courage to get up, and walk.
