This morning did not go as planned. I spent about an hour on the phone with the internet provider because my email quit working yet again. There was a call to a creditor about an account that was not behaving as I thought it should, discovered a problem that will have to be sorted out. Before I turned around the morning was gone.
When that happens to me, my frustration level goes off of the chart. I have to remember that God is sovereign over all of those events. None of the events that took me off plan this morning were a surprise to Him. They were just more ways in which I can learn to trust Him. I sometimes, like this morning, do not remember that until after the event. The people with whom I had to deal were important. In the midst of the frustrating circumstances I am required to treat those folks as image bearers of Christ. That is the assignment. Ofttimes I do not pass very well. I need to remember that the person is more important than my problem and that God has me there for a reason.
