This week has been a particularly stressful one for me. My blood pressure went up. I have had more headaches. And there are other signs that I am allowing the stress to get the better of me.
First there is the fact that I have been much more aggressive behind the wheel. Normally i drive at or right around the speed limit, I do not move in and out of traffic, and I tend not to yell at other drivers. I noticed this week that I have been speeding, aggressive and yelling at other drivers. I felt stupid.
Then I raised my voice with someone this week who came into my office unannounced. Usually I am pretty calm with those who do this, but this time I was not. I felt remorse about doing it.
But these two things are only surface problems and sins pointing to a deeper issue in my life. The deeper issue is that I am letting my surroundings and circumstances control my life instead of being controlled by the Spirit of God.
At the end of the week I am taking another look at my relationship with God.
I encourage you to be aware of the signs in your life that are uncovering a drift from relying on God.
Peace
