An umpire named Babe Pinelli once called Babe Ruth out on strikes. When the crowd booed with sharp disapproval at the call, the legendary Ruth turned to the umpire with disdain and said, "There's 40,000 people here who know that the last pitch was ball, tomato head."
Suspecting that the umpire would erupt with anger, the coaches and players braced themselves for Ruth's ejection. However, the cool headed Pinelli replied, "Maybe so, Babe, but mine is the only opinion that counts."
Believers need to realize that God's will is the only one that counts and resist the temptation to get upset over disappointments. We need to rely on God's sovereign choices for us regardless of whether they seem popular or not at the moment. God is very good at being in control if we will surrender and let Him do His job.
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Want more faith? Digging into the Bible can really help!
Is you haven't opened the Bible yet today, let me encourage you to do that. It's a powerful book!
