You can't find IT.
You just had IT in your hand
and now IT is gone.
Your phone. Your glasses. Your mind!
IT happens.
You didn't plan for IT.
IT just interrupts your plan.
IT is silly yet it sends you in a tailspin.
STUFF.
Little piddly STUFF
that becomes so heavy
that it weighs you down,
even though you know it is so little.
What is the STUFF that weighs you down
breeding
FRUSTRATION into a perfect moment?
Oh when THE LITTLE STUFF
strives to get the best of me
is what makes me
FRUSTRATED
because I know better.
But FRUSTRATION IS FRUSTRATION
no matter how you look at it.
If the LITTLE STUFF FRUSTRATES you, you are FRUSTRATED.
If the BIG STUFF FRUSTRATES you, you are FRUSTRATED..
It doesn't matter to GOD
how little or how big the cause of your FRUSTRATION is
because GOD cares about all your
LITTLE STUFF.
If HE
knows every hair on our head
&
knows when you sit and rise
&
knows every word before you speak it,
don't you think HE cares if you lost your keys?
And HE cares about your
BIG STUFF
because
HE cares about EVERYTHING~
"Do not be anxious about ANYTHING..." (Philippians 4:6)
ANYTHING means ANYTHING~
even if IT is something so little like misplacing your
phone, keys, glasses or
a flat tire~
because if it FRUSTRATES you
it is still FRUSTRATION.
SMALL GOD BIG PROBLEM. BIG GOD SMALL PROBLEM.
GOD is always working behind the scenes,
even when our limited eyesight
is unable to see beyond the clouds.
HIS eyes~
HIS vision for your life is perfect.
HE sees beyond the darkness
HE sees beyond the suffering
HE sees the light at the end of the tunnel
because
HE is the Light
always shining in our lives whether we see it or not.
HE just asks that we
TRUST HIM
in ALL things.
We are not to choose when we want to TRUST.
It is easy TRUSTING GOD when everything is running smoothly~
but boy oh boy
when something jumps out of nowhere on my smooth path
is my immediate response to TRUST GOD?
Is your immediate response to TRUST GOD?
Oh how I want to TRUST GOD in
the LITTLE STUFF & the BIG STUFF.
To remain "STILL" in HIS Presence
because I know
HE is ALWAYS GOD,
The LORD of my life.
And when I do
PEACE replaces
FRUSTRATION.
So will you join me
and lose another stubborn pound
that weighs you down ,
by FASTING from
FRUSTRATION.
Instead of allowing the
FRUSTRATION
over STUFF
get the best of you~
"Be Joyful Always" ~in JESUS, because of HIM.
"Pray Continuously" ~communicate to GOD about all your STUFF.
"Give Thanks in All Circumstances" ~not for the circumstance, but in it
"For this is GOD'S will for you in CHRIST"
(I Thessalonians 5:16-18).
But because GOD will ALWAYS be GOD
invite
HIM into your STUFF
because
"THIS IS THE STUFF"*
that HE wants!
