GOD’S ANSWER vs MAN’S EXPECTATION

What is our response to God when His answer goes against our expectation? We tend to be disappointed with Him and we often question Him on why He delays the answer or rejects our request. We want God to answer our prayer according to our wishes and expectations, not according to His will, though deep inside our heart we know that God knows the best plan for us.

David was rejected by God when he asked to build the temple. God chose David’s son, Solomon, to actualize his desire to build the temple. But David didn’t lose heart. Instead, his response to God reflected his thanksgiving. “Who am I, O Lord God?” David fully realised that even though he was the King of Israel, he did not have the authority to tell God what to do. From this story we can learn from David about having a humble and obedient heart.

In his prayer, David confessed that God knew him more than he knew himself. God had planned something better for David and his descendents. God’s plan for David was far more beautiful and perfect compared to what David had planned for himself.

God has a good plan for us and He will fulfil it.
