Proverbs 2:10-11 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will fill you with joy. Wise choices will watch over you. Understanding will keep you safe.
My little grand daughter helped me realise yesterday how we can allow things to get all out of proportion. We'd made a new leather bridle for her soft toy horse to replace the string one she had made. All was well till she was going home when she decided she had to have the old string one back but it was nowhere to be found and it turned into a bit of an 'issue'!
I wonder how many times we allow things to become a bit of an issue in our minds that really aren't that important in the big scheme of things. My mum always used to say 'It'll all be the same in 10 years'. In other words ten years from now it probably wont matter at all, we'll have got over it.
Sometimes it's our own selves we need to get over though isn't it? We've allowed ourselves to get upset about something and allowed it to blow up out of all proportion forgetting that this time next week we'll probably be on to the next thing to worry about anyway and we'll have forgotten today's kerfuffle! Can anyone relate to any of this?
I just thought it might help us all to remember (especially myself) to not take some things quite so seriously and stand back for a minute and think 'Is this really worth allowing my feathers to be ruffled up about?'. Nine times out of ten probably not!
God often tells us in Proverbs to seek wisdom, so let's make life easier for ourselves and others and allow the Holy Spirit to give us some wisdom and insight into what's important and what's really not, and just let the small stuff go. 😊
