Default Never Disappointed

Never Disappointed
READ: 1 Kings 8:54-61
There has not failed one word of all His good promise. —1 Kings 8:56

As an avid baseball fan, my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs. The interesting thing about being a Cubs fan is that the team has a way of letting us down. They have not won a World Series since 1908. And while they often have great promise at the beginning of the season, they usually disappoint their loyal fans in the end. One die-hard fan had it right when he said, “If they didn’t disappoint us, they wouldn’t be our Cubs!”

Thankfully, God is not like the Cubs! You can count on Him. He will not disappoint you in the end. He always keeps His promises, and His Word provides comfort, hope, and wise advice that never fails.

When King Solomon dedicated the temple, he attested to the fact that God had not let His people down: “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise” (1 Kings 8:56).

Thousands of years later, those words still ring true. And better yet, we are heirs of the greatest fulfilled promise of all time—Jesus! The longer you know Him, the more compelling He becomes.

So if you are looking for someone who won’t disappoint you, look no further. Jesus never fails! — Joe Stowell

All that I need He will always be,
All that I need till His face I see;
All that I need through eternity,
Jesus is all I need. —Rowe

Looking for someone who won’t disappoint you? Look to Jesus.

So many times when we are disappointed, it is because we put high expectations on ourself or others. We forget that we are human, and we are not perfect. We aim toward perfection, but it is progress not perfection.

Even when we go to Jesus, we often expect Him to meet our expectations and forgetting that what we want isn`t always good for us. He know us and sees the whole picture, all we can see is what we want, think we need, and we want it now or even yesterday. My God knows my needs. As I have often said, I wish He would give me a little hint as to what His Plans are for me.

Most time we are disappointed with ourselves and blame it on God or others.
