A Mini-Awakening
I live in the country, as you may or may not know. It’s really beautiful, I’m not going to lie. However, this morning was extremely cold and dreary. I found myself getting upset and wishing I lived anywhere other than Kentucky. And then, I got to thinking.
If God didn’t want me in Kentucky right now, I wouldn’t be living in Kentucky. (btw, there was a similar line in the Beverly Hillbillies). And it really is a beautiful landscape, especially in the wintertime. The trees, most of which are dead by now, are covered with snow or ice or whatever happened to accumulate during the night. There’s also horses next door, and I really love horses. Every single day walking home, I get to see those horses and those snow- or ice- or whatever-covered trees.
It really shocked me, because I realised that all that complaining was sinning. It struck hard and cold, even through the leather jacket. So, to pass on a lesson that I learned the hard way, don’t complain about your surroundings, for God has put you in that position for some reason. And as Jed says in the Beverly Hillbillies, “They say He works in mysterious ways.”
