Stuff
It seems that in life, we encounter all kinds of “stuff.” Good stuff, bad stuff, indifferent stuff…everywhere we turn there is stuff.
The last week of my life has been filled with stuff. I’d say it’s bad stuff. The kind of stuff that I just don’t need to deal with…Of course, many would say that maybe I’ll learn something beneficial through this bad stuff. However, in the moment, the stuff is only serving as a distraction.
When trying to lead areas of ministry, I’ve got this stuff lingering in the back of my mind. When trying to lead a congregation in worship, I’ve got this stuff. When trying to read, pray, study, write, spend time with family…stuff.
Now, this stuff will pass soon. But, I know there will be more stuff down the road. I’m just really irritated with the bad stuff right now because it’s inteferring with good stuff.
When we find ourselve buried in stuff, we need to just stop and pray…asking God to handle our stuff.
