I think one of the coolest things about God is how He can redirect us without us even realizing it's happening.
I was upset. I was irritated. I was letting this comment take up way more space in my head than it deserved. And then, completely unintentionally, I saw something that reminded me to go to God instead of staying stuck in my own reaction.
So I went looking for Scripture to calm my heart, and these were the two verses I found:
"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."
- Proverbs 15:1
"... The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7
And I just thought... wow. How cool is it that God can use something so small to redirect our attention back to Him?
I could have kept replaying the comment and getting angrier. Instead, I ended up in the Bible.
And honestly, I think that's one of the most beautiful parts of having a relationship with God. Sometimes He meets you right in the middle of your mess and gently points you somewhere better. 💛
