Life 101: Disappointment In Life Is Guaranteed! Webster defines disappointment as "when expectations fail to be met, producing anger, frustration, sadness, and discouragement."
This week we're addressing common disappointments and sharing ideas to consider:
3. YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED WITH THOSE YOU WORK WITH.
To succeed in life, you need other people; you can't make it without them. When those people fail you it's painful. Imagine Moses' diappointment. He leaves his brother Aaron in charge while he attends his summit conference with God to receive the 10 Commandments. When he returns, he finds Israel in anarchy, idolatry and rebellion against God. Where's Aaron? Leading the rebellion! When Moses needed him most, Aaron failed miserably.
But watch Moses - true leadership shines in disappointment! Moses confronts and corrects Aaron. He takes the mess to God for resolution and prays for forgiveness for Israel. God listens and reminds Moses of his assignment: "[It's disappointing Moses, but] go lead the people... my angel will go before you..." Disappointment will challenge you to be a better leader and give you an opportunity to grow in grace toward others. When the people you depend on fail you, keep leading! Continue doing what God assigned you to do!
