Disappointment
"They cried to you and were saved; in you they trusted and were not disappointed."
Psalms 22:5
Each of us will at some point in life be disappointed. We may be disappointed in others or in certain circumstances.
Walking up to a department store's fabric counter, an attractive young woman said, "I want to buy this material for a new dress. How much does it cost?"
"Only one kiss per yard," replied the smirking male clerk.
Not to be taken back by the harassment, the woman said, "That's fine! I'll take ten yards."
With expectation and anticipation written all over his face, the clerk hurriedly measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly, leaning forward to receive his "payment."
The woman snapped up the package and pointed to a little old man standing beside her. "Grandpa will pay the bill," she smiled.
We may even be disappointed in ourselves. But one we will never be disappointed in, is God. He is always faithful and He will never fail.
Prayer: Ask the Lord to list your spirits in times of disappointment. He alone can do it.
"My life has been spent in vain and idle aspirations, and in ceaseless rejected prayers that something would be the result of my existence beneficial to my species."
~John Quincy Adams
