Irritated
Pastor J. R. Wilhite, author

What really bothers me is people who pMark in handicapped pMarking spaces and have nothing wrong with them (other than maybe they can not read). I know some do it using their spouse's blue card to get a better pMarking place. Also, another thing that irritates me are people talking on a cell phone going under the speed limit on the roads. Oh yes, Santa Claus, I used to get mad when one of my children (back when we allowed Santa in the house) would get upset that Santa got them better presents than Mom or Dad. One year I heard a friend's child state Santa loves me more based on what Santa had gotten the child. Why do we give credit for our hard work to some one else? It is still Christmas without him and maybe more so, because then it is less comercial. How about those we all know went to church (based on the clothes they are wearing) on Sunday afternoon snub you because you went home and changed before going to lunch. They judge you as not going to Church at all. I have heard others say they get irritated by people who ignore them on the road and cut them off. I am sure you have little things that irritate you as well; maybe they are even some of the above. Yes, we all get irritated from time to time, sometimes more often than not. Again, this is Satan stealing our peace and what little of the Word we have in us. Early on as a pastor I would hear how either one or the other spouse would mistreat their partner. Usually it was the husband and I would get mad, until I heard the other side and realized they both were wrong and both had fudged a little on the story of what had happened and who was at fault. As a young Christian it is hard to not judge, forgive, and to cast down all vain imaginations. As we grow it should be easier and we must learn to let go and grow in the love, and not the law. 2 Corinthians 10 5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; I say all of this to show you that I am not perfect either and when I write Bible studies I sometimes must say, "Ouch". I try, always, to listen and hear God and write as directed; in doing so I also learn. If we would find a partner for prayer to contact when needed, to talk to and open up fully with it would be easier. Because as you tell them and they tell you, you both can realize what is happening is not unique just to you. Here are a few golden rules to follow: 1.Of course listen to and hear what God is saying and be obedient. 2. Always forgive - Mark 11:26 3. Never judge - Matthew 7:1-5 4. Always ask for forgiveness and accept it. 5. Always operate in love. If you follow these few rules you will be less irritated and be happier.
My prayer for you is: 3 John 1 2.
Remember to show faith when you pray, then praise and give thanks.
God Bless You as you hear His words and follow His leading.
