Yesterday I was frustrated. I was into some deeper issues and did not have time to finish it up before I had to leave and take care of a job that needed to be done that day. But the day worked out OK, and I did have some quiet time while waiting for Mayre to make a couple of appointments that she had. So, the frustration was temporary, and God worked out what I needed.
Maybe the lesson I needed to learn from that experience was not to be so caught up in myself, but trust that God knew best, and just wait and see.
Today must be another lesson in something. I had ample time this morning, read Chambers, tried to pray some, but seemed to end up dry.
One thing Chambers had in this day's reading was: "Am I getting nobler, better, more helpful, more humble, as I get older? Am I exhibiting the life that men take knowledge of as having been with Jesus, or am I getting more self-assertive, more deliberately determined to have my own way? It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth."
As I get older, I just realize what I am not, and not even becoming. I want every day to be an upward progression to more and better fellowship with God, but some days I seem not able to get there at all.
Chambers says that It is a great thing to tell yourself the truth. At least I can do that.
"Some days are diamonds, some days are stones"
But both can be God's teaching lab.
