DENNIS
Good Morning. I’m Dennis Gossett, Associate Pastor at Central United Methodist Church. Are you facing a crisis in your life where you feel like giving up? It may be that no matter what you do, things are not going your way. It seems that you are facing one problem after the next. Life has a way of doing that to the very best of us.
Circumstances in our life can irritate us to the point of giving up. During these moments of my life, I am reminded that Irritation Brings Formation. Take the oyster for example. An oyster will get sand inside of its shell, which will irritate it for a long time. It will cause inflammation, infection, and other problems. But soon, the infection becomes hard and a pearl form. The affects of the irritant caused the formation of a beautiful pearl.
God tells us that for a believer, Irritation Brings Formation. One of the Old Testament Prophets understood this all too well when he wrote, “Even though the tree doesn’t bloom, the olive fails, and no herd in the stall, I will rejoice in the God of my salvation.” See, the Prophet would fly to God in the days of his distress. Let God be your strength, your light, and your shield. If you trust in Him, Irritation Will Bring Formation.
