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:
4. YOU'RE DISAPPOINTED WITH THOSE YOU'VE INVESTED IN.
Let's again check in with Moses, the founding pastor of the First Church of the Critical & Ungrateful... a congregation of former slaves delivered, blessed, and en route to the Promised Land... but without a shred of loyalty, gratitude, or appreciation for the man who put everything on the line to make it possible. Fresh out of Egypt, the people of Israel turned on Moses, accusing and blaming him (see Exodus 14). Do you think Moses was disappointed and hurt?
However, each time Moses wanted to quit, he discussed it with God, prayed for his complaining congregation, received fresh orders from headquarters, and returned to work. It's what God-called men and women do when they're disappointed and feel like giving up... they remain faithful!
