Disappointment - His Appointment: An anonymous poem

Today's post features a poem I read recently that was written by an anonymous author.  I figured since we had been studying about forgiveness this past week, this poem would fit quite well.  May the Lord bless you on this day dear reader.

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 blessing

 

Tho' it may come in disguise

 

For the end from the beginning

 

Open to His wisdom lies

 

Disappointment - His Appointment

 

No goodwill He withhold

 

From denials oft we gather

 

Treasures of His love untold

 

Well He knows each broken purpose

 

Leads to fuller deeper trust

 

And the end of all His dealings

 

Proves our God is wise and just

 

Disappointment - His Appointment

 

Lord, I take it, then, as such

 

Like clay in the hands of a potter

 

Yielding wholly to thy touch

 

My life's plan is thy molding

 

Not one single choice be mine

 

Let me answer, unrepining

 

Father, not my will, but thine
