Fustrations

 

Today I got a phone call from a good friend of mind that was frustrated about their living arrangements.  The person they have been staying with, has really been pushing there buttons.  As I began to minister to them about staying strong in the situation, the HOLY SPIRIT then reminded me of something that Peter made mention of.  In II Corinthians 12:7 Peter quoted that he was given a thorn (a splinter) in his flesh, a messenger of Satan, to rack and buffet and harass him, to keep from being excessively exalted. What was Peter talking about?  I believe he was referring to his ego getting the best of him because of the praises of people.  So GOD aloud satan to agitate and cause some type of frustration, through some means, to keep him focused on the call or the purpose GOD gave him, without carnality getting in the way.  The Revelation that then hit me, was that those things that frustrate, anger and sometimes hurt us, is the Cross we bare until GOD chooses to deliver us from it.  One the hardest things in life, is dealing with people. Why?  Because we are human, and being human means, we are imperfect and we will mess up, time and time again.  Whether it’s not keeping a promise or not being the most pleasant person at times.  So the next time you get upset about the imperfection of man; remember that, it could be GODS way of motivating you not to be satisfied or comfortable with where you are in life.  It could be HES way of pushing you to stay on the path HE has set for you.  So Set your goals, and follow the plan GOD has planned out for you and watch that road become less bumpy, knowing that this is not your final destination..!!!  Be blessed my friends and stay tune for my next GOD inspired Blog of the day.
