Good morning everyone. Have you ever had a morning where you really didn’t have a high tolerance for (for the lack of a better word) “mess?” Well this morning I was there. I saw things as I dropped my boys off at school that really frustrated me. I found it really easy to complain about the things that I saw. Then I was reminded by the Holy Spirit to be patient, so I prayed for patience. After praying for patience, I heard the scripture in my head about complaining. Philippians 2:14-15 NIV “Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe.” Oh how I want to shine, but in order to do so, I have to give God what I have and hold my peace. Have you ever thought about that? “Hold your peace.” I have to hold on to that which God has given me…my peace. I will work hard to remember today to hold on to my peace. It is my prayer that if you find yourself in a place similar to mine, that you would be reminded, as I am to hold on to your peace, so that you may shine like the stars in the universe. I pray for your patience, as I pray for mine. If you don’t find yourself in this place, may God continue to strengthen you and this be a reminder for when you find yourself in this place.
God bless you today…
