I woke up this morning disappointed. Things didn’t go how I wanted, how I thought best.
Doubt started to creep in. What am I doing wrong? Why is this taking so long? Does God see me?
Since sitting with my disappointment, I’m choosing to see it as an opportunity to reorient my heart back to Him.
An opportunity to acknowledge that my ways are not His ways.
An opportunity to put my trust in His sovereign will, again.
God has a purpose for this timing. Maybe He’s protecting me from something unforeseen. Maybe he’s preparing my heart or the circumstances. One day I may look back and understand. One day I may not.
But
He is still good.
He is still on the throne.
So today, I’m surrendering my will & my timeline. I’m replacing my disappointment with hope and encouragement—excitement even. God has a plan and I’m excited to see how He’s going to work everything out for my good and His glory.
& tomorrow, if the Lord wills, I’ll wake up and do it all over again.
