Bad temper

It’s wat often called as “bete” in indonesian language
Hmm…this morning i woke up bit later than usual…and some thoughts came to my mind…

One main reason for me to be bete is when things don’t happen according to my will or plan. The will to have a “perfect” life when all things under control in balance and right proportion….Having enough rest, productive work, and fun, etc…

As i woke this morning, the words from Isaiah 40:31 came to my mind. How foolish i am to think good rest -> good energy -> able to work effectively -> have time of my own. Here what came to my mind:

but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles;

The answer is to wait for the LORD. For indeed, strength comes from God. He’s able to supply strength to the tired and weary. It’s there that once again i experience God. To come before Him, ask Him for strength, and depend on His favor to grant me what i need.
It’s once again i know what it’s to be humble and depend on Him. To know grace once again and giving thanks.

I just said on Saturday that we won’t meet grace on smooth path
Indeed the whole point is not about our glory. But God’s glory, even so much more when it’s through our defeat (1 Sam 5 – 6).
May i have the courage to follow.
