“When Disappointment Directs the Future”

Not all life plans work out. That’s what happened to a young

painter. You know him, but not as a painter.

From an early age, all he wanted to do was paint. He

journeyed to Paris where he painted The Gallery of the Louvre,

one of the more famous paintings from an American painter.

But art did not pay all the bills. He spent some time tinkering

with ideas for inventions. Yet, art was his passion.

When he returned to America, he dabbled in politics. Yet, he

remained one of the premier American artists of the 19th century.

His painting of the House of Representatives hangs on display

today in the Capitol building in Washington, D.C.

But life took a cruel turn. Four great American paintings would

grace the rotunda of the Capitol. Everyone assumed his would

be one of the four. However, political enemies blocked his

commission and Samuel F. B. Morse was crushed. He put down

his brush, never to put it to canvas again.

Morse’s disappointment redirected his life in an unexpected way.

From the wreckage of dashed hopes arose the completion of the

telegraph. He developed a code that bears his name (Morse

Code), which made instantaneous communication possible.

The devil wields the hammer of disappointment to crush the faith

of even strong Christians. Well-laid plans get waylaid. Jobs are

lost. Disease destroys health and vitality. The losses of life

mount until it’s easier to walk away from God than fight on.

Yet, Paul, who faced his share of disappointment wrote the

Romans, “And we know that in all things God works for the good

of those who love him, who have been called according to his

purpose.” God can take the worst of disappointment and give it

a new direction.

Samuel F. B. Morse changed the course of history in his greatest

loss. What will you do with your disappointment?
