TODAY’S INSIGHT – 23RD OCTOBER 2023.
“And Solomon, my son, learn to know the God of your ancestors intimately. Worship and serve him with your whole heart and a willing mind. For the LORD sees every heart and knows every plan and thought. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. So take this seriously. The LORD has chosen you to build a Temple as his sanctuary. Be strong, and do the work.” (1 Chronicles 28:9–10)
David was saying, “God did not give me a yes answer. When it came to my own dream, He gave me a no answer. But He did give me other things in place of that dream, and I’m making the very most I can of those other things.” We can all glean much from David’s mature response.
Do you have some cherished desire that you know you are going to have to relinquish? Usually it takes getting up in years to realize that’s going to happen, because the younger we are, the greater our dreams, the broader our hopes, and the more determined we are to make them happen. But as we get older, many of us see that some of those great hopes and dreams are never going to be realized. Perhaps it is a dream of some great accomplishment through a unique kind of ministry. Maybe it is a desire for an unusual career or personal recognition. Maybe it is a desire for romance and marriage. Maybe it’s a longing for relief from something in your life that you’ve had to live with for years. Whatever it is, you may now recognize that it is never going to happen, and that’s a hard pill to swallow. But, like David, it’s an opportunity to find satisfaction in what God has allowed you to do. As he reflects on his life and his own unfulfilled desire, he says, “I want to turn my attention away from what wasn’t to be and focus on the things God has done.”
This is our challenge, isn’t it? We can live the last years of our life swamped by guilt or overwhelmed by regrets from the past. We can either “eat our heart out,” or we can say, “By the grace of God, I did the best I could with what I had. And I claim His promise that somehow He’ll use what I did accomplish for His greater glory.” What a wonderful attitude to have at the end of one’s life!
