What do YOU consider to be FAIR in life? Or, what do you consider to be UNFAIR in life?
I believe we are all posed with that question daily in our lives. Fair/Unfair pay......Fair/Unfair parking.... Fair/Unfair diagnosis....., etc...
When we deal with issues in life, we're usually in the heat of the moment and make decisions based on the small amount of information placed right in front of our eyes.
Many times those decisions can be rash and end up making things even worse than they were to begin with.
When we take a step back and take a deep breath, it gives us time to gather more information and see a bit larger of a picture of what we're dealing with giving us a chance to make a more rational decision.
Hey, look........ I'm just as guilty as anyone, maybe even more so, of making rash decisions based on limited knowledge in the heat of the moment. If you haven't, coo-dos to you for being a cut above. I don't know that there are too many of us who can always do that.
The other thing we fail to understand during that heat of the moment, especially when it's not the most pleasant situation, is that God has a much LARGER PLAN. Many times He doesn't give us what we THINK we want because of a hidden danger we're not remotely aware of, but He is. Or, He just has something even BETTER!!
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
I'm so thankful that He is in charge and NOT me. It's not about being fair or unfair. It's about TRUSTING HIM.
So next time you're faced with a daunting situation, STOP, take a step back and take a deep breath. Look around and find out more about the situation before you make a decision. You'll be GLAD you did!
