SAND IN MY POCKETS

Somehow, appearing mysteriously is a generation that believes that each person is his own god. The general attitude appears to be one of one's own masterful abilities. All accomplishments and achievements are due to his or her own masterminding. They do not believe that they need anyone or anything other than themselves to reach any personally desired end. They most definitely are not of the consensus that all men fall short of the glory of God. I know that this is true because I once believed such lies; but what I didn't know was that I was heading, like a speeding bullet, down the road to my own destruction. (1)
I realized that I was being very abrasive to people, but I could not seem to get a handle on it. So many things seemed to be so easy; so many things, even though difficult, I could get control of and reach my desired result. But I found that many times, the bad people brought out the bad in me. Of course, there were many people which were good people and they brought out the good in me. I prayed to The Lord to help me in this matter, but the problem failed to be eradicated from my life. But finally I slowed down long enough to listen and hear what The Lord was telling me.
I understand that when I am around good people, I as well portray similar traits of godly character; but when I am in the company of bad people, I as well portray similar unfavorable characteristics. So God has allowed this situation to exist that He might prove to us, without His Spirit, we will continually occasionally offend people. I know that there are some that do not seem to suffer from this affliction. We do not all have the same purposes, inheritances, or portions. We all have a path designed for the absolute, best result possible. (2)
So then, why was it, that I was being so abrasive only to certain people. It came to me that I had sand in my pockets. I wanted to get rid of this sand in my pockets, but I just couldn't seem to get it all out. I was told by a brother that we would never get it all out in this life. I knew right than that I was hearing The Voice of The Lord. But what I couldn't understand, was that phrase. Why sand in my pockets and not sand in my shoes. How can sand get in my pockets? I can understand how it can get in my shoes. Then he pointed out to me that my hands represent my work life and my feet represent my walk life. As I work, there is always a regnant that I take with me that I am unaware of, which reminds me of what I have done. (3)
I now thank God that I am one of the many privileged to believe that in comparison to God rather than man; there is absolutely no way that I can ever be a master of all aspects of my life.I am not able to make a decision to prevent things in my life.The only way that I could ever be righteous is by receiving what Jesus has offered me. I understand that the purpose for my insufficiencies or inability's, is to realize that without an awareness of such insufficiencies, I would not realize my own need for what Jesus has done for me. (4)
I as well wish to thank God that He has blessed me with the inheritance or portion I have. No matter what comes my way or no matter what I must endure; I can depend on God for always having control of any situation I find myself, for I know that His will (will) be done. I may not like this sand in my pockets, but I know that The Lord has it under control and His desired end will be accomplished. I will trust Him to continually guide me as all of the heavenly host, all of the demonic hoards and I know that after all is said and done; what The Lord has done and is capable of doing, I will not be lost, I will be saved.
