Distractions

Sometimes, distractions take you away from what God wants you to do and become a source of irritation and discord with the people around you. Though you try to be calm and unmoved outside, the inner struggle has affected the focus and mindset that you once had.

Though you grit your teeth in exasperation for being laid back once more with your plans and try to start all over again, it's not the same anymore. Someone pricked your balloon with a pin and made it burst.

Pray for patience, patience and more patience and the wisdom to know what God wants you to know from the situation. Is there a message for you here that was overlooked because of your irritation? Is there a reason why you are being delayed?

They say things happen for a reason, so what is the reason? To know it requires the grace of the Holy Spirit because it is only through the eyes and ears of God that we see what we are supposed to see and hear what we are supposed to hear.

Oh God to be able to see and hear your message beyond our human temper is grace indeed!
