You know, Beloved, I’ve found that many of the encounters and disputes we face are diversions from the adversary to prevent us from following our objective. Maybe someone in the department or agency you work in or for isn’t as welcoming or pleasant to you as you’d like. Perhaps you have a neighbor who always parks in front of your house and blocks your mailbox or hangs out outside your cubicle to hold their random conversations with other fellow employees. Those things may be irritating, but they have little importance when you look at it from the broader perspective – “eternity.” Beloved, you can’t permit the small issues to trigger discord in your life.
David and Goliath is an excellent illustration. Just before David battled the giant Goliath, his brother Eliab tried to confront him. But David knew that squabbling with Eliab was senseless, and it didn’t merit his time or energy. He understood his actual confrontation was with Goliath, and he didn’t want to be distracted. He turned away from Eliab and kept his concentration on what he was informed to do.
Beloved, as we end this week and head into the weekend. Let’s follow the illustration set by David and stay focused on what’s more extremely vital in life. Instead of being escorted away by annoyances, let’s keep our eyes on the bigger picture. Amen? Aaamen. ✝️❤️😊
I LOVE YOU ALL!!! Have an enjoyable Friday and a wonderful weekend, everyone.
✝️❤️😊
