Each of us experience good emotions and bad emotions...highs and lows if you will. The good news is our little guy is moving to a new school next year that will enable him to learn at a higher level. The bad news is that he has to leave a school filled with people that we've grown to love.
As I continue to study the book of Esther, I'm reminded of Haman's personal highs and lows in chapter 5. He's just chugging along thinking that his life is grand and all of his desires are falling into place. Then he sees someone that he despises and all of his low or bad emotions such as fury and vengence come to the surface. His day is ruined.
How many times have we let circumstances dictate our emotions? As believers in Christ, aren't we called to deny our selves? Aren't we called to trust in our amazing Almighty God? These destructive emotions keep us from receiving the wonderful plans God has for us.
It is so easy at times for moms to reply in anger toward their children when they are frustrated, their children are behaving badly, and/or they are just having a bad day. I have learned that the only thing that anger gives us is a lot of hot air. Let's give ourselves communication with our God through prayer. We can't do anything without Him. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us!
