Sporting For His Glory

The Gift of Disappointment


Listen Later

Disappointment is often viewed negatively, but in this podcast episode, we discuss its transformative power. Drawing from verses such as Romans 8:28-30, we understand that all that we face, including disappointments, are part of God’s sovereign plan. These experiences shape our character, conform us to Christ’s image, and reveal where our true contentment should lie. We are reminded of our spiritual riches in Christ and the importance of not placing our confidence in worldly achievements. By embracing disappointments, we yield to God's will, leading us to repentance and a stronger dependency on Him.

”And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.“ - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬-‭29‬ ‭

”So we are convinced that every detail of our lives is continually woven together for good, for we are his lovers who have been called to fulfill his designed purpose.“ - ‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28‬ ‭TPT‬‬

”Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will—“ - ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬-‭5‬ ‭
