Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. Ephesians 3:20
Ever think you’ve got this cool, calm, and collected thing under control and poof, another test comes along? Many things can ‘push our buttons’ so to speak. Rejection by close friends, air travel delays, unexpected bills, schedule disruptions, family tragedy, and on the list goes. I think you get the idea.
So you have won your ‘scout badge’ in peacefulness? Breathe in, breathe out. Stay thankful. Learning to continually stay in an attitude of gratefulness and thankfulness helps instead of the ‘woe is me’ mentality. Sometimes the big issues in life aren’t really all that big. For instance for a third world country the issue would be getting clean drinking water whereas many spoiled people just want hot water for their shower each day.
What has you worked up in a tizzy today? Have you talked to God yet today before rushing off? Have you made a list of things you are grateful for? Simple things like breathing clean air, freedom, a bed to sleep in? Before you go any further get on your knees before the Almighty and give Him praise for giving you another day of life.
PRAYER:Lord God you are so powerful, gracious, loving. Each and every day you wait to hear from me and sometimes I have no time so leave you on the shelf. Please forgive me for being ungrateful and for ignoring you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
