Never disappointed

So I recieved some bad news, in which I was hoping for some good. It just put me in a position that is difficult for me to get out of, for I have to deal with the people I love most. I'm going to have to face them & tell them something they don't want to hear. It's really hard, but as I was looking for some words of wisdom through friends, the only legit one was from a devotion. I remember that before I started what I did, I prayed really hard for a great outcome and did everything out of my best. However, the outcome wasn't what I expected. But I remembered God's promise, that he would never disappoint us. Although, I'm in a situation as this, his promise is still there waiting to be fulfilled. It's not that it stops here, but that it's still being built up. & I'm waiting for that. This unfortunate situation is just a pit stop and a test of faith. The real deal doesn't come til later. So I'm believed that the positive end of the situation will soon be revealed.

Never Disappointed

There has not failed one word of all His good promise. —1 Kings 8:56

As an avid baseball fan, my favorite team is the Chicago Cubs. The interesting thing about being a Cubs fan is that the team has a way of letting us down. They have not won a World Series since 1908. And while they often have great promise at the beginning of the season, they usually disappoint their loyal fans in the end. One die-hard fan had it right when he said, “If they didn’t disappoint us, they wouldn’t be our Cubs!”
Thankfully, God is not like the Cubs! You can count on Him. He will not disappoint you in the end. He always keeps His promises, and His Word provides comfort, hope, and wise advice that never fails.
When King Solomon dedicated the temple, he attested to the fact that God had not let His people down: “Blessed be the Lord, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise” (1 Kings 8:56).
Thousands of years later, those words still ring true. And better yet, we are heirs of the greatest fulfilled promise of all time—Jesus! The longer you know Him, the more compelling He becomes.
So if you are looking for someone who won’t disappoint you, look no further. Jesus never fails! — Joe Stowell
All that I need He will always be,All that I need till His face I see;All that I need through eternity,Jesus is all I need. —Rowe
Looking for someone who won’t disappoint you? Look to Jesus.
