Disappointment

Disappointment does not discriminate between age, gender or world view. The wave of this emotion can be as small as a wake from a jet ski or as big as the greatest effects of a tsunami. No matter the size of the disappointment or discouragement our human nature tells us to harbor and hold this emotion against the individual(s) that have disappointed us and will shut everyone out. This universal feeling is engaged by the gospel throughout the Bible, but this morning we will focus our attention in Psalm 77. Asaph, a contemporary of David, will help us remember how to see disappointment through the gospel and offer hope within the emotion.
