When it comes to irritations, I've found that it helps if I remember that I am not in charge of my day... God is. and while I'm sure He wants me to use my time wisely. He is more concerned with the development of my character and the cultivation of the qualities that make me Christ-like within. One of His prefered methods of training is through adjustment of irritation.
For instance... The oyster and its pearl
Irritation occurs when the shell of the oyster invaded by an allien substance like a grain of sand. When that happen, all the resources within the tiny,sensitive oyster rush to the irritated spot and begin to release healing fluids that otherwise would have remained dormant. By and y the irritants is covered-by pearl. Had there been no irritating interruption, there could have been no pearl.
No wonder our pearly heavenly home has pearly gates to welcome the wounded and bruised who have responded correctly to the sting of irritation.
