God's Annoying Habit

Hmph. I hate it when God asks me to immediately apply something I've just taught to others. It's SO ANNOYING!

After speaking on Sunday at Cedarcrest I was frustrated with how it went. I had too much material. I was thrown off by some other things. I felt like I'd failed.

And what was one of the too many things I talked about that morning? How, when we are "led by the Spirit" then that's what God requires, and we are to leave the results up to Him. Had I been led by the Spirit to pick the passage I had? I believe so. Had I been led by the Spirit as I prepared? Yes. Did I spend an adequate amount of time preparing? Yes. Did I pray? Yes. Did I learn something to carry forward? Yes. So... Now I'm not supposed to live in the "woulda, shoulda, coulda" land any more, but trust the results to God.

Okay, God... I'll trust the results to you (but can I still be just a bit annoyed?)
