Hope In Christ Is Never Disappointed

I am the LORD; those who hope in me will not be disappointed." ~Isaiah 49.23

I do not do a great deal of reading, but I have noticed in what reading I do, no matter what age the writer comes from, he perceives it as a time of great backsliding or spiritual diminishing. I have yet to read of someone claiming that they lived in a time of great spiritual prosperity.

It seems strange, does it not, that the Lord has finished His work on the earth, has been exalted to the right hand of God, is there now making intercession for His people and ruling all things for their good; yet no one wants to call it a good day – a time of the Lord’s blessing with a good harvest in which to rejoice.

Why is this? Maybe it is because we are looking at men rather than God, the church rather than Christ, believers rather than the One in whom they believe. I am disappointed with me: My sins bear me down; my preaching is never as good as I had hoped for, my wisdom seems foolishness and my accomplishments are far beneath what I had expected. My brethren in the ministry disappoint me: they get entwined in useless controversies, some seem more interested in finding the faults of otherwise faithful men and condemning them for those faults rather than rejoicing in what good God has done through them, and their flesh can be irritating with offensive personalities. And I am often disappointed with believers for they never seem to understand enough, care enough about the things of God and are often found pursuing the things of the world rather than the things of Christ.

But there is one who has never disappointed me, who has always done more than I expected and has always more than fulfilled all His promises – The Lord Jesus Christ. I can find no fault in Him or in any of the works He has done in my life. He has allowed me to suffer a little taste of the natural consequences of my sinful actions, but he has never dealt with me as my sins deserve; He has allowed me to doubt, but never allowed me to depart; He has allowed me to get discouraged, but has never allowed me to despair and quit.. And I expect that in that great day when I stand before Him, I shall find that He will not disappoint me then, either. He will own me as His own. He in who I trust will not forget His promise nor reject the one Who has trusted in Him.
