Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those
who love him, who have been called according
to his purpose.”
Many people never enjoy the fullness of a vacation or get-away
because they are so set on looking only at the destination they overlook the
wonder of the journey. Their plane is
delayed or the hotel or restaurant has messed up a reservation so the room or
table isn’t quite ready. While these are
indeed annoyances, why not look into the deeper meaning of why these ‘journey
stoppers’ occur and enjoy the experience.
As we journey on this life path we should not spend too much of our
energy on complaining about nuisances that we cannot control. We have all seen the scenes that irritable
complainers cause when things don’t go their way and they explode on the poor
salesperson or customer service representative.
When
life throws a monkey wrench into your operation, stop for a moment and ponder
what good could come from the situation.
If God works all things out then this too shall pass without much
frustration if we focus on the right things.
Delayed?... use the time to catch up on some reading. Stuck in a long time?... meet a new friend and
strike up a ‘non-complaining’ conversation.
Stuck in traffic?... don’t succumb to road rage and horn blowing….turn
up the radio volume and sing to the top of your lungs. Enjoy the journey… this is the only life path
we shall walk on this earth so make the best of it.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make
it a GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
