Questions Again

You know I love God questions.  Just those quick little God visits that drop a question on our hearts that make us go, "hmmmm..."

There was the question on Sunday referring to my earnestness of awaiting Christ's return.  Then there was yesterday's little gem.  I was trying to do a hundred things (just like any other day), and vacuuming the floors was one of them.  The vacuum was being difficult!  The end kept falling off, the cord fell out of the socket, got caught on this or that....I was getting frustrated to say the least. The battle of the vacuum...then next great war in history!  So as all this was going on, in comes "The Question."  "Do you fight the sin in your life as hard as you do everything else."  Wrestling with the vacuum, fussing over things in work.....all the small and not so small things that draw my ire day in and day out....mostly inconsequential or unimportant.

What I should be fighting at these times is my proclivity to complain, to get exasperated over these trifles.  I should be fighting for keeping the peace the Lord says I have in my heart.  These are the important battles.  And I have the Holy Spirit to bring me to victory in this.

Thank You Lord for the questions.  I love these thought provoking jewels You place into my heart.  Help me to act on them accordingly.  On to victory, remembering the battle belongs to the Lord!!
