Frustrated!

Psalm 78: 41 

Again and again they tested God's patience and frustrated the Holy One of Israel.

 

There’s a part of me that feels slightly comforted, knowing that even God gets frustrated from time to time.

When I consider the grace of God, I often have this feeling inside that says…. “Why me?”

When I walk through some frustrating times, I often ask the same question…. “Why me?”

 

There are times in our Christian walk, when we can become a little frustrated.

Maybe it’s the person you’ve been witnessing to at work, that just doesn’t seem to get—or doesn’t want to get it.

Make no mistake, there are times when we all make God a little frustrated too.

At least that’s what the Word says.

 

Every time we venture out in our life of faith, we’ll often find some pretty frustrating experiences.

Circumstances will come about every day, that will completely go against the values of common sense.

One thing’s for sure though….. We can trust in Jesus, when common sense doesn’t make sense.

 

I have to confess—that there are times when frustration gets the best of me.

There are times we can think certain things—or say certain things, in the heat of a frustrating moment.

 

Maybe I need to turn my frustration, into faith?

Maybe I should do a better job of focusing on God’s love, instead of focusing on the little annoyances of life?

 

When I’m standing in the checkout line the next time, and the lady in front of me is counting pennies one at a time—I’m sure I’ll need to recall this devotional…..
