Sometimes in life, you don’t achieve the results you’re looking for. Instead, you begin to search for answers to explain why you were defeated, failed and were unsuccessful. As you wrestle for the truth, some may be tempted to blame God. Although you may never discover the source of life’s failure, there are times when the Lord turns His face.

According to the director of music, God does not listen to those who cherish sin in their hearts, Psalm 66:18. As individuals begin to entertain, harbor, foster and nurture sinful desires, it becomes impossible to please God, Romans 8:5-8. Once minds are set on self indulgence, the Lord will wait to act until you’re willing to come back to your senses, Isaiah 1:15-16.
The next time disappointment knocks on your door, may be its time to search your heart, to see if you’re to blame, Psalm 139:23-24. If no one is clearly at fault, perhaps you’re experiencing growing pains, 1 Peter 1:5-7, as the Lord is preparing you for the future. Whatever obstacle you are currently facing, don’t forget that the Lord will turn His face and if God does remember what you need to do to regain His attention, Romans 12:1-2.
