OVERCOMING FRUSTRATION
John 21:3-11
Devotional:- “Simon Peter said to them, "I am
going fishing." They said to him, "We are going with you also."
They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught
nothing” (V. 3) NKJV
One of the terrible experiences of life is frustration. It is always the
case when our expectations are defeated. Many are frustrated when matters come
to a hopeless situation and they do not really know what to do. That is the
reason we need to understand what causes frustration. God has not planned this
for us. This only happens when we refuse to take to the wisdom of God or when
we are not willing to wait patiently for God’s time and programme.
Let us learn from the story of the disciples we in the scripture today.
They were ordained by God to be great evangelists on the earth just like you
and I were also ordained. The earth was waiting for their manifestation. After
the resurrection, Jesus commissioned them for the great manifestation but
ignorance and needs will not make them rise. Peter the leader said, he was
going for fishing instead of the work he was called into. The other disciples
also joined him because they had the same intention of making money and becoming
successful men like other. They were not really coming to the understanding and
awareness of what heaven has for them (Hosea 4:6). And eventually they toil
without result and come to a point of frustration. Frustration is waiting for
everyone who will not be mindful of the calling and purpose of God.
Friend, to overcome this, you need to humble yourself and come back to Jesus.
Allowing Him to re-adjust and order your steps. Trust not in your own
understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). Appreciate Him for His past deeds in your life.
His joy will flow back to you. Let Him have His way in your life. Obey whatever
He is asking you to do. And your story will start to change. Weeping will not
help. There is a great future ahead of you, be willing to wait till your change
comes. You will recover your lost glory and your life will recover speedily.
PRAYER: LORD, STRENGTHEN ME TO LIVE ABOVE FRUSTRATION.
