This morning, I am frustrated. And, I’m holding on to being frustrated. Because I can appropriately justify being
frustrated. And this is keeping me from
enjoying the fellowship of God through His Spirit inside me. So, I am going to make a conscious choice to
give it up, to “take off” my frustration, and enjoy the presence of God. They are “mutually exclusive,” I can’t have
both. I choose fellowship with God for
the rest of the day.
Why do we hold on to such things? Why would I hold on to thoughts and attitudes that make me feel
frustrated, angry, sad, hurt, or bitter, when all I have to do is let them go,
and embrace the presence of God? In the
presence of God, I find myself in the best place that I can be in life.
I face these choices every day, many times a day. The quality of my relationship with God is
regularly dependant on this very thing.
Scripture tells us over and over to quit walking in our “flesh” (that
part of us that serves self), and then to walk in His Spirit. It is a constant choice.
Today, right now, I’m giving my frustration to God, and
entering His fellowship. Oh, my
frustration will probably show up again in a while, or something else
will. Then, I’ll have the same choice
again. His presence is SO MUCH better
than the junk I can walk around in.
Right now, I choose Christ. I
plan on choosing Him again later, also.
