That relationship that didn’t work out…
That job that passed you by…
That canceled plan…
You may have been frustrated in the moment.
You may have thought things were falling apart.
But they were falling into place.
We tend to think we know what’s best.
But what’s best is saying…
“God, I trust.”
He’s a good Father.
He has good things for you.
(Jeremiah 29:11)
But He will keep things from you…
That aren’t best for you.
So when things don’t turn out the way you want…
Trust that He has something better.
Don’t let disappointment drag you down.
Disappointment is the result of a certain expectation…
Based on your thinking.
But our thinking is shortsighted.
Let’s not let what we think, get in the way of what God sees, 100 days, and 100 miles ahead of us.
His vision is endless.
We see what’s in front of us.
Let’s hold on to Him.
Let’s do our best to seek Him.
It’ll keep us sensitive to His nudges.
That’s our compass.
That’s a blessed path.
(Psalm 119:2)
That’s a path that takes…
“But, I want this.”
And turns it into…
“Lord, thank you.”
You have something better.
You can expect it.
