DISAPPOINTMENTS OR GOD APPOINTMENTS

Proverbs 16:9 We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.

Someone was talking to me the other day about being a half full or a half empty glass sort of person, but God reminded me He wants us instead to be a cup overflowing person if we’ll trust Him to do it for us.(Psalm 23:5) He wants to keep pouring His goodness into us till we’re literally flowing over. How good is that!😊

It’s all about our perception and our attitude to things. For instance when we arrange something and for whatever reason it can’t happen, we can either be full of disappointment or we can see it as God rearranging our plans because He has another appointment for us for that time and place.

When we give God control of our lives then we can trust Him to lead and guide us in the best path for that day. It could be that the arrangement we made might have run us into some trouble and God has saved us from a possible situation which would have hurt us or someone else, or even caused someone to miss the blessing of you being there for them.😊

Things happen where people testify to missing their aeroplane flight which was disappointing but it saved their lives. Or there was the God appointment where I know of one man who felt a nudge from the Lord to go in a particular shop and he met his future beautiful spouse! 

God may have a specific person for you to meet for some reason but you have to be in the right place at the right time maybe to hear about a job opportunity or to bless them with an encouraging word when they’re at rock bottom. God has preordained good things for us to do each day but we have to tune in and not mind when He rearranges our day!😊

We might just need to readjust our attitudes to see it God’s way and trust His timing is always going to be right, and stay in faith believing His overflow is going to be in it at some point.

Psalm 27:13 (NLT) Yet I am confident I will see the Lord’s goodness while I am here in the land of the living.

So next time you have a disappointment, keep believing for God to turn it round in due course for one of His God blessed appointments. Amen.😊
