It takes some of us a 'lifetime' to learn that Christ, knows exactly what He is doing with us.
He understands us perfectly...........
Although we don't understand Him & our circumstances.........
Did you ever hope for something with seemingly all of your heart - but it never came to pass...?
Even when it comes to temporal desires, Solomon says that,
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life" (Proverbs 13:12).
How are we supposed to handle the'grown-up disappointment' of having noble and spiritually motivated hopes delayed and deferred?
In Hebrews 11 we find a hall of fame of faith.......
Some received what they were promised, while others didn't - at least not here on earth.
And therein lies the secret of maintaining a positive and optimistic sense of hope and expectation when things don't appear to be working out.
It's the realization that in eternity, all hope is realized.
All that remains......... is: To affirm a positive sense of expectation that God will do all that God has promised ........ALSO in my life!
Nevertheless the state of my present circumstances, that are seemingly humanly impossible & deferred from any hope or future.....
Only single-minded 'Faith' remains .......
.....that a miraculous Godly intervention can provide a 'favorable outcome' ........
Shalom
