Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Inconvenience

We all face so many things that inconvenience our day. From the traffic jam on the freeway to the lack of milk in your fridge. These small things can change a good day into a bad one, can change a positive attitude into a pessimisttic one.

Yet, God uses those inconvenient moments. In fact, I think He places inconvenient moments in our day to open a door or test our heart. Yesterday, I found myself inconvenienced and because of that, I was at the right place at the right time to help someone. This reminded me that God works ALL things for good.

 

I want to have a changed attitude about the small inconveniences of my day. I want to look for what God is doing in them rather than feel enslaved by them. I want to choose praise in response to them rather than allow myself to be beaten down by them!
