Where God is in the center of all things.

Blake Prater

Why is it we got so angry or frustrated about small things?

I believe it is because God pays alot of attention to the details and the small things. To Eve and then to Adam taking a bite from the tree of knowledge of good and evil seemed to not be a big thing, a small thing, but wow the impact of the small decision and the small bite that has now impacted the earth and mankind. That small bite and decision brought about shame, guilt, blame, discipline, enmity (strife and struggles), pain, sweat, hardness and that is just in the verses of Genesis 3:6-19. In 13 verses look at the impact of one "small" decision. Maybe, being in the image of God we really hope for perfection and not just in the big things but in the small things. We must be careful and compassionate how we react to others, parents, leaders, teachers that are sinners, Christian or not, that will not be perfect. We must be patient, compassionate and merciful. Be holy, just as God is holy. There are details and small decisions and sometimes we take small bites of people, actions or things that are really not any of our business. We get frustrated because we are frustrated with the incompleteness of ourselves. Pray that God will bring a wholeness about you.
