Facing Disappointment?

We often face disappointments in our lives despite all we try to do to avoid them. Our children, friends, co-workers can disappoint us. Perhaps you are left cleaning up someone else’s mess. And then you despair of your life. Consider Hebrews 10:23 -

Let us hold firmly to the hope that we have confessed, because we can trust God to do what He has promised.

Max Lucado presents us with this devotional: Your disappointments too heavy? Read the story of the Emmaus-bound disciples. The Savior they thought was dead now walked beside them. He entered their house and sat at their table. And something happened in their hearts. “It felt like a fire was burning in us when Jesus talked to us on the road and explained the scriptures to us.(Luke 24:32). Next time you are disappointed, don’t panic. Don’t give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He’s still in control. In fact, lay your disappointment at His feet. It is God in control, not you. Remember, it ain’t over ‘till it’s over!

Join us for worship on Sundays at 10:45. Adult Sunday School is at 9:45 and you are welcome there as well. Hope to see you all at the Fairborn Car Show on Sunday Sept 22. Visit our stand on the lawn for lunch!

Blessings to you this week, Deacon Nancy Trimble
