Proper Insight
"For the Holy Spirit, God's gift, does not want you to be afraid of people, but to be wise and strong, and to love them and enjoy being with them."
Everyday brings new adventures. We never know what is going to happen next. You may set yourself on a path to complete a task, but you do not know, the interactions, of what may throw, an interruption into what you are doing. It could be something that someone else causes or it could be something you do.
There are two ways to deal with upsets. One is to be angry causing you to walk away and make things worse with frustration. The other is to accept joyfully what as happened and seek the wisdom you need to get yourself back on track without to much turmoil. To gain wisdom, takes patience, knowledge and the ability to understand what you have learned.
It would be nice if every task we set out to do would go off without a hitch, but that is not often the case. We are God's children and He wants us to be at ease with life so that we can be available to do His holy work. The joy of serving God comes from Jesus and knowing the paths on which you walk. Your ability to learn new wisdom is a gift from God. And when you have the insight for a task then you are prepared with a plan for success. You see the outcome before it comes.
Having insight brings peace and the ability to joyfully hum songs of praise and being thankful to God. That does not mean we will not face challenges, but if you start out your day thanking God and asking Him to be with you throughout your day, then you will be walking with Him. You will see the way He guides your paths and thoughts. You will see how you missed making a fatal mistake or you will see quickly the right path to take when trouble comes your way. You will be astonished and thankful with joy for His love.
It is in those moments of success that the opportunities to share God's love with others happens. Maybe someone opens up to you about their problems or maybe they make a comment to you about your insight. However the opportunity arises, you are furthered amazed by the words that come out of you.
They are just what was needed at the right time. You are blown away and maybe the other person is brought a step closer to knowing Jesus. And that is God's holy work being done through you. The old you is gone and your new life with Jesus is here. You don't have to be impatient, there is no need to rush. Every moment is an honor and glory to be in the presence of God.
Thank you Father for Jesus. Thank you that no matter where we are; You are with us. 😊
