The Joy Of DisappointmentBen Ayala
While
in Bible college, I auditioned for one of the school’s traveling
musical teams. I was excited about the thought of being able to be
involved in that ministry, but was crushed when I failed to make the
team. In my disappointment, I could only trust that God’s purposes were
greater than mine.
Months
later, I had the opportunity to join a different musical team, but as
the Bible teacher. The results were more than I could have imagined.
Not only was my future wife a part of that team, allowing us to serve
Christ together, but it also gave me many opportunities to preach over
the next 3 years—priceless preparation for a life of ministry in the
Word. 
Many
times we struggle with the reality that our Father knows what is best.
We assume our way is right. But, as we rest in Him, His purposes always
prove to be for our good and His praise. To be honest, that’s easy to
see when the outcome is better than we had hoped, but difficult when we
can’t see the good right now or maybe won’t till heaven.
As
wise King Solomon said, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and
lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your paths” (Prov. 3:5-6).

God’s
purpose for today’s events may not be seen until tomorrow.

El Libro a los Hebreos Propósito: Alertar, edificar y fortalecer a la iglesia (pastores, servidores, miembros e invitados) para permanecer firmes en la fe frente a las corrientes de estos postreros tiempos. INTRODUCCIÓN Amada iglesia, hermanos, servidores, pastores y amigos que nos visitan hoy: sean todos muy bienvenidos a la casa del Señor. Cuando uno viaja por una carretera sinuosa en la montaña, nota que a la orilla de los abismos hay unas estructuras fijas: las barandas de seguridad. La función de esas barandas no es arruinar el viaje ni quitar el paisaje; están ahí para salvarnos la vida si perdemos el control o nos desviamos del camino. En la carta a los Hebreos, el Espíritu Santo colocó cinco "barandas espirituales". El autor no escribió estas advertencias para destruir nuestra paz ni para infundir un temor servil, sino para proteger a la iglesia del mayor peligro espiritual: la apostasía. La apostasía rara vez ocurre de la noche a la mañana. Comienza como un enfriamie...
