My last post reminded me of what happens when I take my eyes off of the One who is in control of everything. When I am faced with the big stuff...God's presence seems so evident..when the odds seem insurmountable without His help, I find it so much easier to keep my eyes on Him.
It's the little, every day stuff...the frustrations, dealing with the "system", human error and opinion...all these things can so quickly make me stress out...how quickly I forget that God is in control of ALL things...not just the big things...but ALL things.
Oh, how I want to remember that God is in all things...How I want to live in His presence when speaking with the medical appointment scheduler, the social worker who may have very different set of priorities in life than I do, or when I life just doesn't seem fair. How I want to pray without ceasing......not just in the great times or the big struggles...but in the midst of the little stuff that I so quickly allow to steal my joy...
Sometimes, I can create mountains out of issues that are barely molehills...more like pebbles on the path. Sometimes, I need to look deep within myself and ask what is really going on that has brought me to this point of frustration...and usually it doesn't take long to see that I've looked away...and all I want to do is keep my eyes on Him...because He is in control of ALL things..big and small.
how true, and how beautifully written!
