Hebrews 9:27(KJV)
27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Appointments are dates, or times when you need to be some place. If you miss that appointment you are a disappointment to someone who set up the appointment, the person who is waiting for you.
Another type of appointment means that someone is being assigned to a position. People are appointed. Disappointments are seeing someone who you thought was supposed to be in a position, and seeing they have failed. You expect to see something, but are disappointed in the reality.
I expect so much out of myself, because God has appointed me to be a Christian. When I see myself, and my actions, I am disappointed. I fail miserably every day. At night I pray, LORD FORGIVE ME!
God is insulted by that prayer I think, but I keep doing it. I think it is my flesh. God appointed people who believe in Him to have ever lasting life. It is God’s appointment not ours. No one can appoint themselves. It is a gift from God.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
An appointed person has an office, not a task. We do the tasks better and better because as we realize our office, we begin to live more and more like we belong in that office. It is a matter of accepting this reality of who we are more than anything else.
God bless you and good night.
