When your company lets you down

“My trust was misplaced.”

“They disappointed me.”

“They’re not worthy of my respect.”

“They should pay.”

Have you ever felt this way about your superiors? If you work at some place like AIG or Enron, who could argue with your feelings? But this kind of frustration goes on at workplaces all across America and nearly everyone, at some point or another, has had some sort of animosity towards those in charge.

But here’s the question you need to answer: Is your frustration about them or is it about you?

How much expectation have you piled on the heads of those above you? How high and precarious is the pedestal you’ve placed these frail, human forms to sit upon? And what did you do to keep them from falling hard, cold ground of failure?

Maybe it’s time to let go of some of that expectation and see the bosses for what they are – flawed humans prone to sin and failure. They’re an awful like like you and me.

If you’re going to put your faith in someone, stick with Jesus. Believe just like the woman in the crowd believed, “If I only touch his robes, I will be healed.”

That’s the difference between hope and trust and a place where you’ll never be disappointed.
