First and Second: Perspective On What Matters Most (Matthew 22:36-40)

My Mess, His Order

May 9, 2016

There are days life is a mess.

Like the morning I spilled three glasses of water, got hot chocolate all over my clothes, ripped my lunch bag and forgot my needed sweater.

The mess got to my heart next.

Within the hour I was at work in a special needs classroom. A student, twice my size, was spread out starfish style on the floor throwing a fit. My heart was flustered, unsure of how to help and what the student needed…

…… curious what the Lord did with my mess? And what He can do with yours?

Bethany, what a great post. It’s so easy to get frustrated when everything seems a mess to us, but how much better to remember that God has it all under control. We need to check on our priorities. It’s not always easy, but it’s the best way to have peace when we trust God to work out his purposes no matter how messy they look to us! Thank you for sharing at #LMMLinkup!
