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.

Si Jesús es el único camino al Padre, ¿qué implica esto para nuestra vida diaria? 1. El Peligro del Corazón Dividido En la Biblia, la falta de prioridad se describe a menudo como tener un "doble ánimo" (Santiago 1:8). Si Jesús es el único camino, intentar caminar por dos senderos a la vez produce inestabilidad. Mateo 6:24: Jesús es radical al decir que "nadie puede servir a dos señores". No dice que es "difícil", sino que es imposible. La implicación diaria: La exclusividad significa que cuando mis deseos personales chocan con las enseñanzas de Cristo, Su voluntad tiene la última palabra. 2. Cristo como el Filtro de Prioridades Imagina que tu vida es un recipiente. Si Jesús es el único camino, Él no es simplemente un ingrediente más dentro del recipiente; Él es el recipiente mismo que contiene todo lo demás. Identidad vs. Actividad: Muchas veces ponemos nuestra carrera, nuestra familia o nuestro estatus al mismo nivel que nuestra fe. La exclusividad impl...
