Just Shake It Off!

Have you ever heard the phrase , "You're all wet?"

In case you haven't… Figuratively here is what it means:

all wet 

1. Fig. mistaken; wrongheaded; on the wrong track. That's not the correct answer, John. You're all wet. If you think that prices will come down, you're all wet.

Sometimes our emotions about things, can get us "all wet!"   Many times, I have an idea of the way, I think things should go…at times…I can get on the wrong track.  I forget to consult God or take the direction He wants me to take.  I get hung up in my own personal preferences.  I get caught up in my own wants and desires.  Sometimes, when I get on the wrong track, I can simply derail the plan that God has before me.  It is easy to act in my emotions, become frustrated, stand on my principles or even cut off my nose to spite my face.  I have to take a step back.  

Have you ever found your self "all wet?" You just have to shake it off.  Sometimes, we get all wet, over something that really isn't that important in the grand scheme of God's plan.   I have to ask myself…how am I going to lead?   Is this worth dying on a mountain for?  In a hundred years…will this even matter?  For that matter, in one year will it even matter?  Most of the time, the things I frustrate over, really don't even matter now.   Stay focused on what's important.  What is God calling you to do?  What is God asking you to give up?  Abandon your heart's desires for His heart's desires.   Stand with your soul surrendered.  Give God every part of your life.  Trust Him in it.   

30He must become greater; I must become less.”

John 3:30 NIV
