I opened my mouth to share a very intelligent observation about Esther. (I attend a weekly bible study) Out poured words in no particular order. The few important words to tie the statement together flew away into the unknown before they could be spoken. Thankfully, from across the room, a fellow attendee picked up the thought and spoke eloquently, filling in the missing details.
So on my morning walk with my faithful companion I analyzed each second - tore apart every word to discover the reason of my ineptness. Freud would be proud of my scientific approach and dissection of the issue to form a brilliant conclusion.
Thoroughly depressed and disheartened I shuffled to the couch when I got home to begin my morning devotional time.
First I read:
"God uses us to make know His wisdom
to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places."
"Not last night!" I mutter. What? I hear a chuckle . . .
Opening "Jesus Calling" I continue my morning routine:
"See things from My perspective . . ."
""When little things don't go as you hoped -
Look to Me lightheartedly and say
"OH WELL" '
I burst out laughing! I hear loving laughter joining me.
I "totally in my mind" blew it last night! The fact is, last night was not about me but about Him!
His greatness in working behind the scenes to accomplish His purpose and will using fallible and imperfect beings to fulfill His plan. This was the lesson He taught the principalities and powers in heavenly places last night!
A gentle reminder to NOT take life (me) so seriously. Not to waste our limited energy on the "what ifs" and the "if onlys". To lighten up and enjoy the moment. So join me in saying:
"OH WELL" often and
sharing a sweet smile with our King"
