Throwing A Tantrum

I spent some time at my sister's house today.  My nephew Jack had to sit in his playpen... and he was definitely showing us that he wasn't going to have any of that.  I have seen Jack angry, but I have never ever seen him like he was today.  He cried, and screamed, and cried some more... but eventually he calmed down, and started to play with all his toys.

It reminded me how I am when God puts me in a place that I don't like.  When my dog Hobo died... I wasn't happy.  When my grandma was sick and dying... I didn't enjoy that.  When daily disappointments come my way,  I sometimes act like Jack did today.  What's so neat about God is that He doesn't do what is right in man's eyes... but in His eyes.  He knows what is best for us. 

Psalm 46:10- Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations I will be exalted in the earth.

Whenever I am sad, or mad, or am just having a bad day... this verse reminds me that I need to just let go and let God . Be still and know that He is God! So if you aren't having a great day, or are going through something hard like a death or a disappointment... Just stop, look to God, and listen for His guidance.


Walking In Grace,
Abby
