Psalm 3:3 But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the One who lifts up my head.
Mark was thrilled when he heard he had been selected for promotion. He worked for a stable company with great prospects for growth. He was in middle management and this promotion would have elevated him to a position of responsibility where he would have led a department, making a greater contribution to productivity. However, a week before his promotion was due, he was informed that a colleague had persuaded senior management that he was the man for the job and not Mark. Mark lost his promotion. Disappointed, he became withdrawn and bitter. Disappointment can demoralise and depress the best of us. Great expectations dashed can leave one deflated and dejected. Opposition to progress can so easily cloud our vision and thwart our personal growth. But thank God, his thoughts are not our thoughts and his ways are higher than our ways. If I acknowledge him in every decision, every plan and every hope I have, he will direct my future according to his higher ways. Therefore, as I face the disappointments life throws at me and trust the Lord, I know that his ends will be realised in my life. His ends are the start of blessing and success. And in the end, vengeance is his. God-tracking is trusting his higher ends. READ ALL ABOUT IT Get into the word of God and get the word of God into you.

Other people have always gotten ahead of me and left me lonely and dejected. Yet, I know that you know the plans you have for me – pans for my success and a great future. So, I pray, O Lord, forgive me for wallowing in self-pity and bitterness. I choose now to let go of the hurt and trust your hand to bring about your ends in my life. And I know your ends are a great beginning for me. Amen.” If you prayed that prayer today email me now at [email protected] HELP keep GodTracker free, ---------------------------- What is GodTracker?
