Scripture
James 1:27
Petty
Things in life come and go
There are hills and valleys
What happens during these times
Can have highs and lows
The commitment seems impossible
The challenges keep coming
The good times quickly evaporate
Strife and frustration remain
There are so many bigger things in life
Cancer, Stress, uncertainty and fear
When petty things crop up
It makes you feel bad you even have these feelings
The petty things can fester
The enemy sits back and waits
He uses negative emotions to further is mission
To destroy, conquer and devour
The petty feelings are only temporary
The effects linger on longer
It is biblical to express concern, sin directly with your brother
Get it over quickly and move on
The enemy does not need much to move in
Using petty feelings against us
Jesus was the ultimate role model
His parables provide all kinds of direction
It doesn’t matter what situation
His word is always right
Jesus, thank you for being there
In the best of times, darkest of times
I ask for repentance and forgiveness
I ask for your grace and mercy
Help me get over the petty feelings
Help me get back on track
Help me be a kingdom seeker
Help me be a kingdom bringer
Focus on what matters!
Amen!
