Tough Lesson

I looked back on my past couple weeks of my own personal devotions and I tie these verses together it is amazing. We serve an amazing God. The day of my car accident I read this from Col. 2 “Their sinful minds have made them proud, 19 and they are not connected to Christ, the head of the body. For he holds the whole body together with its joints and ligaments, and it grows as God nourishes it.”

See moments before my accident I think I had lost my connection with Christ. As I sat there in traffic waiting in line I grew more and more impatient and frustrated with those around me. Here I sat in a hurry wanting to get things done and rush, rush, rush and I sit in a long line of cars trying to make a left turn at a difficult intersection. Well, next thing I know at the vary intersection I was getting frustrated I ended up in an accident. I had become detached from Him yet He kept me safe as it could have been much, much worse.

But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell.
Matthew 5:22

I definitely was subject to judgement that day as I had become detached from the head my Lord and Savior. Not only was I in need of an attitude adjustment, but I also needed to apologize to the lady that hit me which definately changed her attitude to me at that time. I needed a time to sit and think about who I am in Christ and who I was becoming in my rush, fast pace mind set I get into.

I always seem to need to learn my lessons the hard way. If I could only remember to stay connected to Him as my rock I would more than likely make life much, much easier on myself.
