But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken. Matthew 12:36
Little minor things can get to you if you choose to let them. Cancelled flights is one I dealt with recently then having some liquid over three ounces being confiscated by TSA. Minor. Not worth ruffled feathers and potential high blood pressure.
Even your reaction to things not so minor such as a job loss, probation, speeding ticket, losing a credit card and on the list can go, matters to God. These last things can be highly upsetting and impact your life more but still it is how you react and handle it that matters.
Big and small things matter to God. There will always be someone watching you to see how you handle the frustrations of life whether you are a good ambassador for the kingdom or one who needs a little work establishing peace. Make sure your reactions in every situation bring glory to God.
PRAYER: Father at times when I feel justified in spouting out help me control my tongue realizing I represent you and am always on duty. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen! All the things we think of as BIG are small things to God. He is in control of all that stuff.
