Default When you feel let down, look up to the Father

Senior Living

Those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. --Isaiah 40:31

Charles M. Schulz, the creator of “Peanuts,” said much of the inspiration for his comic strip came from his seemingly never-ending stream of bad luck and blunders in childhood.

Like the time a local movie theater promised the first 100 children in line a yummy chocolate bar they could enjoy during the show. Schulz eagerly joined in the queue, already tasting the tantalizing chocolate in his mouth. He waited patiently…only to discover he was number 101 in line!

It’s easy to become discouraged when you eagerly wait for something and have your hopes dashed. The enemy wants nothing more than for you to be discouraged and doubt God at times like these. But oftentimes God uses our disappointments to draw us closer to Him.

When you feel let down, look up to the Father. Praise Him in the midst of your sadness. Psalm 33:18 says “the eyes of the Lord are on those who fear Him, on those whose hope is in His unfailing love.”

Draw closer to Him, and you will find yourself refreshed with a new hope. Don’t let the enemy steal your joy, no matter what you may be going through today!

Prayer Challenge: When you face seasons of disappointment, ask God to help you remember He is there for you, waiting to draw you closer to Him.
