While beginning my warmer weather running training tonight, the wind was brutal and causing my ears to burn…head to pound. I caught myself saying, “God, if you want this body to be a temple for you, stop this painful, cold wind.” I was brazen to become a little aggravated at God for not taking care of my needs,when I knew I was doing something He desires. As I finished my run and settled into a nice walk, I quickly realized the pain was never from the “wind.” It was just my own movement from running. God wasn’t not stopping the wind, it was me not stopping a painful action. I also realized that so many times in life, pains and troubles we are trusting God to remove are not His to remove… They are ours, and we just need to stop.
