Not disappointed

When faced with hard times on occasions relatives or friends ask what will I do? My response: I trust that God will take care of the situation. To be specific I am refering to the hardships that I cannot resolve with my own abilities or resources. The well intended response that comes back to me from others on some occasions is: "that is great that you trust and have such large faith in God but you got to do something else besides faith and trust".

That leads me to the scary moments I confided that I do not like to be in. Will my faith and trust in God disappoint me one day? I mean will the need or situation I am facing come crashing down and leave my faith and trust in God to see me through the need or situation laying in the dust?

The answer after many experiences of this nature, is that God does not disappoint me. His timing compared to mine may be off. His method compared to mine may not make sense. The people he engaged to help me would not be the ones I would choose.

In fact many times I have not seen things get resolved at all but even that pathway still does not lead me to disappointment.
The truth be told I would not have it any other way. I abhor the thought to "lean on my own understanding". I prefer instead to join the company of men like Abraham that "against all hope, Abraham in hope believed" .

I don't know what things seem hopeless for you today. But I do know that regardless of what you are going through that faith and trust in God will always insure that you will never be disappointed.
