Have you ever experienced disappointment? How did you react?
The test we experience when we are disappointed is the test of the basis of our
faith. Many people think God will simply respond to their requests because “I
am a good person.” God acts out of his character not out of ours. Our character
has nothing to do with God’s responsiveness to us. God loved us while we were
his enemies (Romans 5:5). If God loved us when we were spitting in his face, do
we think that he does not love us now because we find ourselves disappointed in
him? Followers of Jesus learn that their faith is not based on God’s responsive
to their demands but on the graciousness of God whose ways are higher then
their ways. – Ron Friesen
