Are You Disappointed with God?

Joyce Meyer – Oct 22, 2023
An open Bible held in a field of flowers being read for a daily devotional.

Adapted from The Power of Being Thankful

For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.

Perhaps you feel that God has let you down at some time in your life, or that one of His promises did not come true for you. If so, I urge you to realize that God doesn’t always work within our time frame or in the ways that we would choose, but if you continue to trust Him, you will see the goodness of God in your life.

If you’ll trust God each day, be thankful for the things He has done for you in the past, and decide to never give up, you will see Him doing amazing things in your life. God’s faithfulness surrounds Him. It is part of His character, and we can count on Him to be with us and do all that He has promised to do. Don’t let past disappointments hold you back— dare to trust God again today.

Prayer of the Day: Father, help me to set aside my pain or disappointment and learn to trust You again. I realize that even when I don’t understand Your plan, Your plan is still best. Thank You for Your faithfulness and Your love for me.
