How to deal with setbacks and letdowns

Jeremiah 45  (NIV) When Baruch son of Neriah wrote on a scroll the words Jeremiah the prophet dictated in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, Jeremiah said this to Baruch: 2 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to you, Baruch: 3 You said, ‘Woe to me! 

The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am worn out with groaning and find no rest.’ 4 But the Lord has told me to say to you, ‘This is what the Lord says: I will overthrow what I have built and uproot what I have planted, throughout the earth.

5 Should you then seek great things for yourself. Do not seek them 5 Should you then seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them. For I will bring disaster on all people, declares the Lord, but wherever you go I will let you escape with your life.’”

We like the approval and respect from others 1. Position   1. Position We can get caught between our principles and ambitions Will we remain true to God?

Even the right decision can leave us frustrated 2. Condition   Even the right decision can leave us frustrated

3. Ambition   God did not keep Baruch from “seeking great things”

Philippians 2:3-4  (NKJV) 3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.

Out of God’s will; there is no success Our times are in God’s hands
