It’s amazing what a little dose of God can do.
Our God is not little, he is awesome, huge, wonderful,
amazing, and bigger than life!
What I mean by ‘little’ is a little dose. God does such amazing things in our
lives. Even the small doses make such an
amazing difference in our day!
I have been having a bad time in school with a particular
class. I am angry, depressed,
frustrated, disgusted, (the list can go on and on) when I leave this
classroom. Whether I am giving
instruction, or they are working on an assignment, or collaborating there is
noise and disruption. No matter how many
talks, kind lectures, angry lectures, and detentions… nothing works. I don’t like myself in this class, I don’t
like who I am when I leave the class. I
don’t like the depression that overtakes when I think of the class…
Then I realized…
I wasn’t taking God to class with me, I was trying to do it on
my own. I never prayed before or during
this class. I didn’t ask God how to
handle this class. I didn’t go to the
bible for instruction on how to teach this group… I am not big enough. But even the smallest dose of blessing, the
smallest dose of God’s peace that prayer brings, the smallest direction from
the bible… makes a massive difference!
I prayed, I asked God.
God helped me maintain myself, my own spirit and personality, he helped
me be strong and not let that 45 minutes take away my sanity. He gave me a new way to handle situations in
class. He gave me strength and
support. The class was not miraculously
better, I have to learn the lesson God wants me to learn through this
class. He wants this trial to grow
me. But the victory I saw in the first
day… I left class as myself, not someone I hated, and not depressed or stressed
or frustrated. I left the class
victorious. I left the class hand in
hand with Jesus.
Pray, go to God, it is amazing!
