Yesterday, I heard a pastor state “things that bothered you 5
years ago should not still bother you today.” This may be an annoying coworker, slow drivers
on the road, etc. The coworker who bothered you 5 years ago should not continue
to bother you today. Similarly, if slow drivers bothered you years ago they
should not still affect you today. When he said this I examined my own life to
see if I had matured by not getting frustrated over the same circumstances that
I did 5 years ago. Unfortunately, road
rage has bothered me for over 5 years.
When I drive there always seems to be a super slow driver or
a crazy driver in front of me. This
frustrates me to my core. Every NJ driver should know that the left hand lane
is a passing lane if you are not passing someone then you need to get over. The
message that was preached made me realize that I had not maturated in this area
of my life. Instead of getting frustrated by every slow driver I need to make
sure I stay in God’s peace. God has
everything under control I will still make it to my destination even with that
annoying person in front of me.
As my fellow blogger Hannah says, “stay in Peace not in
Pieces” staying in God’s peace is much better than staying emotionally in
pieces. We can rest in God’s peace because he is in control of every situation.
The bible says that “All things work together for the good.” Not just some, but
ALL. Including the terrible boss, the lying friend, the struggles you face at
home, all things work together for the good.
This week I encourage you to go in peace because God is still
on the throne. Remember to keep your shoes of peace on. Do not leave home
without them. J
Have a BLESSED Week!
