Greetings Balanced Life Family,
Disappointment is something we have all experienced. If we weren’t disappointing someone, we were being disappointed by someone. But, is it possible to disappoint God? The definition of disappoint is “to fail to fulfill the hopes or expectations of someone”.
Truthfully, no one can disappoint God. God knows each one of us. He knows our strengths and our weaknesses. There’s nothing we can do, think, or say to disappoint him. We don’t have that kind of power. Before we entered this world, he knew every thought and action we’d have. God doesn’t put his hope and confidence in us, we are to put our hope and confidence in him.
God wants us to obey and be victorious. He wants us to succeed. When we fail, he wants us to repent and make a change. “The Lord is … not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 God gave us the right to repent because he knew we’d mess up sometimes, but he’s not disappointed.
We can’t catch God off guard. We can’t surprise or shock him. Now keep in mind, that doesn’t give Christians the right to live any kind of life their flesh desires, because we can grieve God. Ephesians 4:30 says “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.” No, you won’t disappoint God, but in the end, YOU will be greatly disappointed. So let’s do all that we can to please God with our lives. Put yourself in his will so that YOU are not disappointed in the end.
