Crappy days are just by-products of a crappy me. It's not the weather's fault...not the non-moving traffic...not even insensitive people in my environment! Crappy days will remain crappy until I do something about it. I can't stop the rain, move traffic or make people conform to my emotional needs...but I can choose not to react and look at things with a divine perspective.
God allows certain people and situations in our lives for a definite purpose...the moment we forget that God intends the best for us in everything that is happening, then we will quickly lose focus and even lose our temper. We have to hold on to God's promise that He can miraculously work all things for a definite purpose to those who would adhere to His plan. The problem with us is we have a different agenda...there are certain things we want to happen in the whole scheme of things. We try to be a "know-it-all" and plan our lives to what our finite minds see as good and profitable...ignoring the ultimate plan of the Father for us.
Today...is a crappy day...my emotions are high, my old sin nature is kicking in, and I'm irritatingly irrational. I won't share details...because in reality, no one is to blame...I allowed people to get in my head and get affected...and that's my loss. 1 John 1:9 can only be effective on my sins...I need to let the Holy Spirit calm and drive away the evil thinking within me.
Lord...I'm not perfect...I don't claim to be...but please be with me today...and kick my butt if you need to. I can't let this day remain crappy!
