Disappointment

I found this poem and felt that it was quite fitting for a time such as this.


Disappointment
By Phil Keagy

Disappointment- HIS appointment, change one letter,
Then I see, that the thwarting of my purpose
is God's better choice for me.
His appointment must be a blessing,
though it may come in disguise,
For the end from the beginning, open His wisdom lies.

Disappoint-His appointment, whose?
The Lord who loves me best,
Understands and knows me fully,
Who my faith and love would test.
For like a loving, earthly parent,
He rejoices when He knows,
That His child accepts unquestioned
all that from His wisdom flows.

Disappointment-His appointment,
Lord I take it then as such,
Like clay in the hands of the potter
Yeilding wholly to thy touch.
All my life's plan is thy molding,
Not one single choice is mine,
Let me answer unrepining
Father not my will but Thine.
