Vanquish disappointments
Radio meditation by: Evangelist Sieberen Voordewind
Beloved listener, every person will have to deal with disappointments in his/her life. There are people who are disappointed in other people, in a church, pastor or friends.There are also many people disappointed in a lottery. They thought of buying 1 lot, one million to win. Regrettably. A disappointment means that you don't get what you expect.
To a certain expectation is not answered. Oh, maybe you are disappointed in something at this moment. You didn't get what you wished. Perhaps you ask: "Brother Voordewind, what should I do?"
Well, the Bible gives the answer. In the Bible, in Luke, chapter 24, I read that there were two men walking on the street who were very disappointed. They were hoping that Jesus Christ would redeem the people of Israel from Roman domination. But instead, The Lord Jesus was arrested, condemned and crucified to a rough wooden cross with the result that He died. All hope in them was disappeared.
But... while they were on their way to a village with tearful eyes, it was Jesus Christ, Who was accompanying them. And Jesus explained to them from the Scripture that the Messiah had to suffer all these things before entering into His glory, so that everyone who believes in Him will live forever.
While Jesus gave them the good news, they again have hope. Their eyes were opened, they recognized Him and the Lord Jesus lived with them again. Yes the disappointment disappeared as snow in the sun when their eyes were opened and they saw that Jesus was not dead but alive. The feeling of disappointment will also be over if you believe in what the Bible says and you know that the Living Jesus Christ is with you and everything in your life will succeed. Believe that Jesus is alive. Come to Him. Accept Him in your life. Be a follower of Jesus and tell Him your pain and disappointments. He also will comfort you and be with you in all circumstances.
Let no wrong and too high expectations in your life, but expects everything to the will of God and He never lets you down.
I wish you God's Blessing. Amen!
