I work in health insurance sales and I’m known among my co-workers to be brutally honest with the people who are looking for help. It’s never ceased to amaze me that people who want my help can be so rude to me and so dismissive of my time when I’m only trying to help them because they ask for help. I’ve been working on tact for a while and yesterday I asked God to speak through me so that I wouldn’t be so brutal. Well, it didn’t work. Then I would tell God, “I ASKED you to do the speaking.” Then it would happen again.
God has often told me through scripture to “wait upon the Lord.” Things happen in his time and I think that he wants us to learn lessons about ourselves this way. I don’t think he wants to do everything for us; I think he’s always with us supporting us and when we can’t handle certain situations he will step in. I think God was cheering me on yesterday telling me I can do it myself. Instead of getting frustrated, I will look towards God and know he is with me.
My verse for the day has to do with peace. We all need it. It’s a horrible feeling not to have it. Philippians 4:7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We cannot even comprehend the peace we can have with God.
Fierce passions
discompose the mind,
As tempests vex the sea;
But calm content and peace
we find,
When, Lord, we turn to Thee.
– William
Cowper
He who climbs above the cares of the world and turns his face to his God, has
found the sunny side of life. The world’s side of the hill is chill and freezing
to a spiritual mind, but the Lord’s presence gives a warmth of joy which turns
winter into summer. (C. H. Spurgeon.)
