Disappointment
and Timing
“He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.” Ecclesiastes 3:1 NASB
We each have disappointments. Some are deeper than others. So, what do you do? My first reaction, as I have learned over the decades of trying to get it right, is to say, “Lord, my times are in Your hands.” And then my spirit and soul settle down.
And so, I have to share this as a testimony. I have to testify! (Church people know what that is.)
Our flight to Israel was cancelled at 3:00 am on Friday, a day before David Lauka and I were to leave. It had already been cancelled and rebooked a few days earlier, and we had all our bags packed, ready to jet out.
I worked the phone. Sent out the emails. Updated those who needed to know. Disappointed again but understanding the situation with the ongoing war against Iran, involving Israel and the USA's great military forces.
After all considerations, changes, credits, and more were done…David Lauka and I will be in Israel, April 13-May 21. No charge for change. And then, with our home group going to Israel May 12-21, I was able to cancel that May flight and get a $1,500 airline credit.
The Lord directs our steps as we serve His purposes. Thank You, Lord Jesus (Yeshua).
Trust Him with your life. Daily. He is the Big God to whom no one can compare. And His timing is always perfect. Just consider our Lord Jesus’ (Yeshua) walk while here on earth. Perfect timing and not disappointing.
Ahava and Shalom,
