My Disappointment is Not My Destination

Have you ever applied for a job that you knew you had the qualifications, but you  were not offered the job or even given an interview?  When you received the  letter of rejection, your confidence was deflated and your heart became  overwhelmed with pain.  Your love ones try to comfort you; however nothing seems to ease the pain. The scripture in Psalms 61:2 states, "From the end of  the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the  rock that is higher than I" (KJV).


When disappointments take place in your life, they can overwhelm you and cause you to
question your capabilities of being successful. However, we must remember Isaiah 55: 8, "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,  declares the Lord (KJV)." Then in Jeremiah 29:11 God declares, “For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (KJV).

 
Although,  you were not offered the job or even given an interview, just know God knows the  plans he has for you.  The disappointment of not getting the job is not your destination to your future because God has his hands on you.

 
Dear  God, 
Please help me to remember my disappointments are not my destinations to my future.  God strengthen my mind and heart so when disappointments take place in my life, it is just the path to the future God has ordained.

 In  Jesus Name,
 AMEN!
