Pumping The Brakes

This morning was shaping out to be one of those days. Before I even got logged on to my computer people were walking up with requests that could not wait. I logged on only to find out I was filling in for someone who didn't feel it was necessary to inform me of their absence (a constant offence). The phone was buzzing, work was waiting, people were asking, and my patience level was quickly diminishing.

Thank God for the word we chewed on yesterday! (Philippians 4:4-8) The Holy Spirit brought the verses back to my remembrance, and I had to pump my brakes. I took a deep breath, said a prayer, and gave my frustrations to God. I thought about the bigger picture. I even said a few words over my absent co-worker.

You know what?

My whole mood changed. Even though I was in the midst of all the same chaos, work, and demands, I was able to see things from a whole 'nother point of view. God's point of view. I was filled with peace and able to smile.

Perfect example of why it's important to spend time in God's Word: You never know when you're going to need it!

What Word are you standing on today? Don't let it go! Hold on and have a fabulous day no matter what!
