Good Morning …! Praise the LORD …!
Today’s meditation is taken from Isaiah 26:3 “You, Lord, give perfect peace to those who keep their purpose firm and put their trust in you.”
Sometimes, the stress of our working lives and pressure can directly influence the way we think and feel. In corporate life and normal life we encounter lot of frustrating situations and frustrating people. Sometimes our life is constant frustration and disappointment; it’s very hard to control our emotions in that moment. But scripture says it’s very important to develop peace.
In a park a person was observing a 3-year old daughter ahead of him. The little girl was holding on to a string that was attached to a helium balloon.
All of a sudden, a sharp gust of wind took the balloon from the little girl. He braced himself for some screaming and crying. But, no! As the little girl turned to watch her balloon go skyward, she gleefully shouted out, "WOW!". The person got surprised of that expression.
The little girl taught him something, even though an unexpected problem or frustrating situation comes she felt like responding "WOW",
In our life, no matter what the situation, a fascinated "WOW" will always beat a frustrated situation. Depend on God in frustrating situation, He will give you peace and turn the things. Always turn the frustration into a cheerful moment
"A cheerful heart is good medicine" Proverbs 17:22
Know that All the good things and bad things in our lives is work for good God can even take the negative and turn it into a positive if we let him. Use every frustrating situation as an opportunity to become more like Christ.
Romans 8:28 says, "In all things God works for the good of those who love him."
Jesus faced constant frustrations through out his life in this world, but He never got irritated. Learn to respond "WOW" in frustrating moments.
GOD BLESS YOU
In Christ,
