Usually turn into an impatient, angry, immature whinner. I have incredibly short vision when it comes to what is best for my life and development. If something tough happens and im not able to see immediatley how it is going to be good in the long run I start throwing stuff out the window.....like my trust in the Lord. In the past I have spent time yelling and punching my mattress when things dont seem right and Im disappointed. The Lord may keep me there for a little while and I eventually learn a lot from the situation. Its usually Hebrews 12 that brings me out of a place like that. The message from that chapter soothes the anger and frustration inside me and melts it away.
"My son do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, BECAUSE THE LORD DISCIPLINES THOSE HE LOVES, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."
My disappointment seems to melt away as I meditate on this scripture and I some how become thankful for my position of discomfort. It makes me proud. I want to suffer for Christ ad I want to be molded by Him. It ultimately brings my focus and MORE of my trust back to Christ.
