Have you ever been so excited about something that you just wanted to jump and dance around all day? You been wanting something or waiting for something and think it finally is going to happen. Finally what you’ve been longing for has been placed right in front of you and you are sooooo happy right now. But wait..

What?!! Are you serious? The one thing you were excited about, is now taken from you. Your friends cancelled on bowling night, your date stood you up, Walgreens ran out of your favorite chips, you didn’t get hired for the job, the concert tickets to your favorite band are sold out, your family cancelled the vacation to Hawaii…

Now your left disappointed. Now you’re saying ‘why did this have to go wrong’?

Sometimes things aren’t going to work out the way we want them to. Things may not always go the way we planned.

God says “My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, and my ways are higher than your ways” Isaiah 55:8

You might never know why something didn’t turn out your way. In some cases people find out that God was actually protecting them from something. Maybe you didn’t get that job you wanted because God has something better for you. Maybe it was a good thing that your date stood you up because that person isn’t the one who God wants you to be with. Maybe it’s a good thing that your friends cancelled bowling night because there was a huge accident on the highway that you could’ve been a part of.

Whatever the situation or whatever the case may be, don’t beat yourself up for it.

God knows what He is doing in your life. Whenever something doesn’t go our way, it is always because God has a better way.

REJECTION is PROTECTION.

I’m happy I am protected by God and will thank him when what I want happens and will thank him when what I want doesn’t happen. Either way I’m still protected.
