Disappointment, God’s Plan and a Healthy Soul
1. DISAPPOINTMENT in broken dreams
2. Senseless pain & GOD’S PLAN
3. A HEALTHY SOUL in disappointment & loss
1. DISAPPOINTMENT in broken dreams.
Matthew 11:1-6
Matthew 11:1-6 NIV
Matthew 11:11 NIV
Just because you’re suffering, doesn’t automatically mean YOU’VE DONE SOMETHING WRONG.
Disappointment happens when OUR PLANS don’t come together the way we hoped they would.
2 reasons our plans don’t always come together:
1. God’s plans are far bigger than we can see
2. The world we live in is far more broken than we know.
2. Senseless pain & GOD’S PLAN
Matthew 14:1-12
Matthew 14:1-12 NIV
It’s important for us to accept that we won’t always understand GOD’S WAYS.
Romans 8:17-18 NIV
Romans 8:22 NIV
Romans 8:28 NIV
What kinds of disappointments have you faced recently?
In the waiting, in the searching, in the healing & the hurting,
like a blessing buried in the broken pieces, every minute, every moment,
where I’ve been & where I’m going, even when I didn’t know it or couldn’t see it – there was Jesus.”
“There was Jesus” Zach Williams
3. A HEALTHY SOUL in disappointment & loss
Matthew 14:13-23
Matthew 14:13-23 NIV
It’s important to notice that Jesus does not IGNORE OR NEGLECT His own soul.
