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).

me, O Thou great Jehovah,

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

Espera un poco, Job, y escucha; ponte a pensar en las maravillas de Dios. - Job 37:14 ¿Hace cuánto tiempo no sacas un ratito para pensar? Sí, eso: detener todo y pensar. Sucede a menudo que el ajetreo diario nos impide percibir las cosas más simples e importantes que Dios nos proporciona... Desde el aire que respiras hoy, todo forma parte del gran regalo de Dios para ti. A veces estamos tan distraídos con todo que no nos percatamos de las maravillosas dádivas del Padre. Detente y reflexiona sobre la vida, la familia, la belleza de la creación, la salud, las sonrisas, la gentileza, la espontaneidad de los niños, el amor de Dios... ¡Hay tanto que podemos considerar y agradecer! Piensa en eso y disfruta un día lleno de bendiciones. Para y considera las maravillas de Dios hoy: Pausa un poco en tus quehaceres diarios y disfruta un tiempo a solas con Dios. Considera las pequeñas cosas, cada gesto, los detalles que revelan el gran amor que el Señor tiene por ti. Según transcurre el día agrade...
