I like to start with something funny each week. 0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.560 And I heard about these three people, a Russian, an American, 0:02:21.919 --> 0:02:25.480 and a blonde. They were talking one day. The Russian 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.000 proudly said, we were the first ones in space. The 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.080 American said, well, we were the first ones on the moon. 0:02:32.639 --> 0:02:34.920 The blonde said that's nothing. We're going to be the 0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:39.040 first ones on the sun. The Russian and American they laughed, 0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.440 and what are you talking about. Can't go to the sun. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.960 It's too hot, you'll burn up. The blonde said, We're 0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:46.800 not that dumb. We're gonna go at night. 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:48.400 All right. 0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:50.600 Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 0:02:51.000 --> 0:02:53.959 This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:57.000 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:57.080 --> 0:02:59.640 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.799 talking the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:07.200 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:11.960 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.959 to talk to you today about not making mountains out 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:18.320 of mole hills. It's usually not the big things that 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.720 keep us from being happy. It's the small things. I've 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:26.119 heard it said tornadoes and hurricanes get more news coverage, 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:30.919 but in reality, termites do more damage. The scripture puts 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.520 it this way, it's the little foxes that spoil the vines. 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:38.160 Most of the time we're not dealing with some major 0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:42.320 crisis like losing a job, a life threatening illness, or 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:46.280 a relationship breaking up. The big things are rare. It's 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.840 the little inconveniences, like not being able to find your 0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:52.600 car keys in the morning, or being in a hurry 0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:55.720 and getting behind a driver going forty in a sixty 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:59.760 mile an hour zone. It's the little interruptions, like having 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:02.480 to back to the school and pick up your child's 0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:05.760 jim bag that he forgot, or finding out that your 0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:08.720 mother in law's coming in for a surprise two week visit. 0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:14.160 It's the little frustrations like your husband not picking up 0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:16.760 his socks even though you've asked him to for twenty 0:04:16.800 --> 0:04:20.280 seven years, or your wife not leaving the remote control 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.840 where you can find it. You're convinced that she does 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.920 it on purpose. How we handle the little things will 0:04:26.960 --> 0:04:29.960 determine what kind of life we live. I heard these 0:04:30.000 --> 0:04:33.760 coal miners talking on a documentary about the thing that 0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:38.240 they feared the most when they're underground miles back in 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.840 those caves, if there was an explosion or the earth shift, 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:44.839 just a tiny dip could easily trap them and cut 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.280 off their air supply. It's very dangerous, but it's interesting 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.159 that's not what they worried about the most. Their greatest 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:56.880 fear was something called black lung disease. It's when they 0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:00.360 inhale the cold dust so long that it co their 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.600 lungs and they can no longer breathe. One of the 0:05:03.600 --> 0:05:07.920 miners said, it's the small stuff that kills us. He 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.760 was saying, it's not the big explosions. It's not the 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.159 caves crashing in, it's not the dangerous equipment that we're 0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.760 working with. It's simply the dust. And that's the way 0:05:17.839 --> 0:05:21.440 it is many times in life. It's not the major 0:05:21.560 --> 0:05:25.799 catastrophes that keep us from being happy. It's the seemingly 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:30.560 insignificant things that we don't handle correctly. And some people 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.320 have developed a habit of making mountains out of mole hills. 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:38.080 They blow everything out of proportion. If they get stuck 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:41.480 in traffic, it ruins their whole day. If they can't 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:44.200 find their car keys, you'd think the world was coming 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.080 to an end. If their child doesn't clean up his 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:51.279 room on time, it's World War three. They make everything 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.280 a big deal, and they've been doing it so long 0:05:54.520 --> 0:05:57.800 it's just natural for them to overreact and make it 0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:01.200 bigger than it is, and they end up get themselves upset. 0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.440 I was in a restaurant the other day with my family, 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:06.680 and at the table right next to us was a 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.600 husband and wife, and the lady got a phone call. 0:06:10.120 --> 0:06:15.159 She said so dramatically, Oh no, you've got to be kidding. 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:18.280 I'm so sorry. What are we going to do? I thought, 0:06:18.320 --> 0:06:21.680 for sure she just heard terrible news. Maybe somebody was 0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.360 in an accident. Maybe she found out somebody had a 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:28.000 life threatening illness. Her husband was just like me, He said, 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.240 what is it, honey? What is it? She pulled the 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.400 phone back and whispered they didn't have any chocolate chips 0:06:33.400 --> 0:06:38.039 at the grocery store. I thought, my goodness, lady, I 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.640 don't even know you, and my blood pressure shot up 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:46.279 twenty points, no telling what yours did. All because they 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:51.040 didn't have some chocolate chips. Friends, There are enough big 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:54.559 issues in life to deal with without making a big 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.000 deal out of things that are not a big deal. 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.360 Keep it in perspective in the big pick. Make sure 0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.200 if you get stuck in traffic, it's not a big deal. 0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.359 If you don't get your favorite parking spot, it's not 0:07:06.440 --> 0:07:09.840 worth losing your peace over if the repairman doesn't show 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:13.600 up when he promised. Let it go. This tooth shall pass. 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:18.600 I've seen marriages practically split apart because somebody doesn't squeeze 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:21.480 the toothpaste the right way. Had a lady tell me 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.480 one time that she and her husband broke up because 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:28.400 she couldn't stand how he chewed ice. We have to 0:07:28.480 --> 0:07:32.440 realize the more we focus on something, the bigger it becomes. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.480 If you focus on what you don't like about that person, 0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.960 you'll get to where you don't see any of their 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.520 good qualities. That will irritate you more and more, and 0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.440 you will get to where you don't even want to 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.880 be around them. You'll forget all about the reasons why 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.960 you fell in love. Some of you today, this could 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.320 save a relationship if you would just quit making a 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.920 big deal out of something that is not a big deal. 0:07:57.920 --> 0:08:01.200 I used to get so uptight because Victoria wouldn't leave 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.960 her church when I wanted her to leave. We take 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.880 separate cars on Sunday mornings, and I wanted her to 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.160 leave at a specific time so she would not have 0:08:10.280 --> 0:08:12.520 to hurry and get here in plenty of time to 0:08:12.600 --> 0:08:15.360 relax before the start of the service. And so I 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:17.760 did my best to encourage her and let her know 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:19.760 what time I would like for her to leave, and 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:21.640 I'd make sure the keys were out and put the 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.040 stuff in the car for But it seemed like no 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:27.000 matter how hard I tried, she still showed up just 0:08:27.040 --> 0:08:29.960 a few minutes before the opening prayer. I used to 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.560 have Johnny looking out the back door down the road 0:08:32.600 --> 0:08:35.720 to see when she was coming. The whole time I 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:39.920 was up tight on edge, stressed out. One day I realized, 0:08:40.200 --> 0:08:42.800 I am making a big deal out of something that 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:45.760 is not a big deal. She has never once missed 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.000 the start of the service. If she wants to come 0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.559 with just a few minutes before, there's nothing wrong with 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:53.800 that's not hurting anything. And a lot of times, because 0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:58.079 we have strengths in certain areas, we expect everyone around 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:01.480 us to have those same strengths. We expect them to 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.880 be able to do what we can do, and if 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:08.000 they don't, it frustrates us. We look down on them, 0:09:08.080 --> 0:09:11.800 and even subconsciously, they can feel a sense of disapproval. 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:14.880 And if we're not careful, we'll go through our whole 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:18.360 life trying to quote fix people and make them just 0:09:18.520 --> 0:09:21.400 like us. That one little thing will get bigger and 0:09:21.440 --> 0:09:25.040 bigger before long. It's a source of division that drives 0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.960 us apart. One of the best things I've learned is 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:31.200 God did not bring the people into my life for 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.760 me to make them just like me. God wants us 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:39.439 to be different. That's why we have different personalities, different strengths, 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:43.199 different hobbies, different looks. If we're going to be happy, 0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:47.320 we've got to learn how to appreciate the differences and 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.439 not let the little things that we don't like irritate 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.760 us and cause us to become resentful toward that person. 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.559 They may do some things that get on your nerves, 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.559 but always remember there are a few things you do 0:09:59.720 --> 0:10:03.840 that on their nerves. Nobody is perfect. If we're going 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.280 to be in relationship with people and enjoy it, we've 0:10:07.320 --> 0:10:11.040 got to be willing to overlook some things. Just because 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:14.520 they don't have your same strengths doesn't mean that their subpar. 0:10:14.880 --> 0:10:18.440 They're just different. Our assignment is not to fix people. 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:23.160 Our assignment is to love people. My personality type is 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.720 I'm very structured, very routine. That's one of my strengths. 0:10:27.960 --> 0:10:31.199 And on my desk at home, I like everything perfectly 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.720 in place. I like my phone in a certain spot, 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.000 not two inches here or two inches there. There is 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:41.040 an exact place I want it to be. And for 0:10:41.160 --> 0:10:44.800 years my office was right outside of our bedroom. From 0:10:44.800 --> 0:10:47.480 time to time when I wasn't in there, Victoria would 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:51.199 come in and she would use the telephone, and just naturally, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:53.280 she would pull it closer to the front of the 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.640 desk so she could die. And she wouldn't always put 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.520 it back in the exact right place. When I'd go 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:02.480 in and see that it was a little bit out 0:11:02.480 --> 0:11:05.959 of place, I'd get so stressed out. I think, why 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.160 don't these people leave my things alone? And if they 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.400 use it, I wish they'd just put it back. I 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.000 got so paranoid about it. I used to go through 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.160 the house just to check to see if my phone 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:20.080 was in the exact right place, like an old mother 0:11:20.200 --> 0:11:23.600 hen and if it wasn't, I would start harping and 0:11:23.800 --> 0:11:28.000 bringing all this tension into the home, not because somebody 0:11:28.040 --> 0:11:31.560 tore up the furniture, not because somebody stayed out all night, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.560 simply because somebody moved my phone two inches. I was 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:38.400 making a mountain out of a mole. Heln never forget. 0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.480 One day I went into office, My desk was out 0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:43.520 of place, and I started complaining, God, when are you 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:44.920 ever gonna change these people? 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:45.200 God? 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.280 When are they ever gonna leave my stuff alone? I 0:11:48.320 --> 0:11:51.040 heard a voice right down in here saying, Joel, I'm 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.400 gonna change them as soon as you get over it. 0:11:55.480 --> 0:12:00.679 I thought, now, was that God or the devil? Sometimes 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.640 we're waiting for other people to change all the while 0:12:04.760 --> 0:12:07.800 God is waiting for us to change. He's waiting for 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:10.320 us to get over it and quit making a big 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.960 deal out of something that's not a big deal. And 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:15.840 some of you, like I was, you're making mountains out 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:22.080 of mole hills, and it's bringing unnecessary stress that's creating tension, division, 0:12:22.200 --> 0:12:25.440 disharmony in the home. If you would make these simple 0:12:25.559 --> 0:12:29.040 changes and quit blowing things out of proportion, and quit 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.080 losing your core over things that don't matter, you would 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:35.000 not only enjoy your life more, but you see the 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:38.319 people you're in relationship with come up to a higher level. 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:43.600 So I've learned people don't change by us nagging, complaining, harping, 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.079 looking down on That doesn't motivate anyone to want to 0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:51.200 do better. That takes away all their enthusiasm. But when 0:12:51.200 --> 0:12:55.760 you encourage people, when you're kind and understanding, when you 0:12:55.840 --> 0:13:00.160 make allowances for weaknesses, when you overlook little things that 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.440 could irritate you, you're so in a seed for God 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:08.239 to change them. Every one of you has specific strengths. 0:13:08.520 --> 0:13:11.000 There are things that you're very good at, but do 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:14.240 you know if you allow it, your strengths can become 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:18.960 your weaknesses. I was so organized and so overly structured 0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.760 that I couldn't even enjoy my life because my phone 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.480 was two inches out of place. That's out of balance. 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.520 When I heard that voice saying that I needed to change, 0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:30.200 I made a decision that I was going to lighten 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.960 up and quit being so nitpicky in such a stickler. 0:13:34.440 --> 0:13:37.800 I'm happy to say today, twenty years later, I never 0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.880 get upset with Victoria moving my phone. She doesn't have 0:13:40.920 --> 0:13:48.840 a key to my office. I'm just kidding it, But 0:13:48.960 --> 0:13:52.760 too often we try to fit people into our mold 0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:55.720 and make them just like us. We think if they 0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:59.360 would just change, then I wouldn't get upset, If they 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.920 would just do it the way I want, then they 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:04.280 wouldn't get on my nerves. Now, give people room to 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:07.560 become who God created them to be. Life is too 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:11.040 short to spend it trying to fix everybody. And sure 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:13.839 we should encourage people and help them grow and come 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.200 up higher, but we have to come to the point 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:18.760 where we step back and say, all right, this is 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.200 who God made them to be, and I'm going to 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.200 accept them just like they are. And just because they 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.640 don't have my same strengths, just because they don't mind 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.440 that the phone is a quarter of an inch off, 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.200 I'm not gonna let that frustrate me. We have to 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.800 realize the people God brings into our lives are to 0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:39.440 compliment us and to bring a certain flavor that makes 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:43.480 our life more interesting. But if we view these differences 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.280 in a negative light and we allow them to annoy us, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.480 then our life will not be near as fulfilled as 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.000 it could be. I know, if Victoria was just like me, 0:14:53.400 --> 0:14:56.360 our home would not be nearly as fun. Because I'm 0:14:56.400 --> 0:14:59.240 so organized and so structured, I can do the same 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:04.880 thing the way again and again. But Victorious is very spontaneous. 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.920 She keeps our house fresh and fun and exciting. I've 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:12.440 learned you've got to focus on a person's strengths and 0:15:12.560 --> 0:15:16.480 learn to make allowances for their weaknesses and realize just 0:15:16.600 --> 0:15:19.840 because they're not like you doesn't mean they're wrong. They're 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:24.560 just different. Every person has little quirks and peculiar things 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.760 that we can get on our nerves if we let it. 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.160 But we've got to be bigger than that to where 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:32.400 we overlook those things and we focus on their good qualities. 0:15:33.320 --> 0:15:35.880 As long as I've known Victoria, she's always been a 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.440 great driver. She's never had an accident, never gotten a ticket. 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:42.360 But one thing she does used to really bother me. 0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:46.440 When she's driving down the freeway, instead of keeping the 0:15:46.480 --> 0:15:49.600 car in the center of the lane, she lines up 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.680 her right tires close to the right side stripe in 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:56.160 the road. And of course, when I'm the passenger, that 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.600 means I'm the one closest to the other cars. When 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:01.920 I look at the window and see that eighteen wheeler, 0:16:01.960 --> 0:16:04.920 and I think to myself, I have never noticed those 0:16:04.920 --> 0:16:09.400 little pinstripes like that before that tells me we're too close. 0:16:09.440 --> 0:16:12.720 And for probably ten years, every time I would ride 0:16:12.760 --> 0:16:16.040 with her, i'd go through my same speech, Victoria, you 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:18.000 need to keep the car in the center of the lane. 0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.520 It's dangerous over here. On and on. Victoria would always 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:23.440 move over. She would do her best to please me, 0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:26.800 but five minutes later she'd gravitate right back to where 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:29.680 she was. I'd get all up tight again. Please, Victoria, 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.560 moved the car over. I would like to see my grandchildren. 0:16:34.600 --> 0:16:37.880 I was focused on that one little quirk, and I 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:40.720 used to think that it was my assignment in life 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.040 to straighten her out and to teach her to drive 0:16:44.240 --> 0:16:46.640 just like I could drive. And so I had her 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:50.480 on my potter's wheel. I was making her and molding 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:53.920 her into who I thought she should be. One day 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:57.680 it dawned on me, that's not my job. That's God's job. 0:16:57.760 --> 0:17:00.400 I'm not the potter. It was like a light turned 0:17:00.400 --> 0:17:03.120 on and I heard God saying, Joel, you can get 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.159 in the car the next eighty years and try to 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:08.080 change her, but she's not going to change. You can 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:10.720 either lighten up and let her be who I made 0:17:10.760 --> 0:17:12.960 her to be, or you can spend all your time 0:17:13.040 --> 0:17:16.600 frustrated and upset trying to change her. That day, I 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:19.560 made a decision to just leave it alone. I quit 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.080 making a big deal out of something that was not 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.639 a big deal. After all, She's never had an accident 0:17:25.880 --> 0:17:28.919 and I've had two. She's never had a ticket and 0:17:28.960 --> 0:17:34.040 I've had a few. But thank god, now I've been delivered. 0:17:34.080 --> 0:17:35.919 When I ride with her, I don't even think twice. 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.920 I just get my helmet on and off we go. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.000 But you've heard that saying I want need to ride 0:17:43.000 --> 0:17:48.400 home today, y'all. Somebody you've heard that saying, don't sweat 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:52.360 the small stuff. Most of the things that upset us 0:17:52.800 --> 0:17:55.919 and cause us to live all out of sink is 0:17:55.960 --> 0:17:59.000 the small stuff. Well, I went to church Sunday. But 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.000 somebody will sit and in my favorite seat. I've been 0:18:02.040 --> 0:18:03.919 in that seat for twenty years. That's not right. I 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.399 paid for that seat. No, you're sweating the small stuff. 0:18:07.720 --> 0:18:11.399 There are sixteen thousand seats. Find another one. Life is 0:18:11.440 --> 0:18:14.199 too short to get all worked up over something that 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:18.080 doesn't really matter. Hell, Joel, I'm stressed out today because 0:18:18.440 --> 0:18:21.600 somebody's talking about me at the office. Well, let me 0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:24.720 tell you a secret. Somebody is always talking about you. 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.040 You just don't know it. Let it go and be 0:18:27.119 --> 0:18:30.919 happy anyway. I had a mother I was talking to 0:18:32.240 --> 0:18:35.680 last week and she was very stressed out because her 0:18:35.800 --> 0:18:39.119 child was still using a pacifier. According to her, it 0:18:39.160 --> 0:18:41.639 was like six months later than he should be using it. 0:18:41.640 --> 0:18:44.119 She has really been out of shape, and I reminded 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:46.960 her that I have never seen a twenty year old 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.040 using a pacifier. This too shall pass. Keep it in perspective, 0:18:51.480 --> 0:18:54.480 don't make a mountain out of a molehill. And it's 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:58.240 good to approach each day in faith, expecting God's favor. 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:02.359 Yet at the same time, I'm realizing everything may not 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:06.480 go our way. Everybody may not treat me right today. 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:09.479 All my plans may not work out the way I 0:19:09.520 --> 0:19:13.440 have them scheduled. But I've already decided I am not 0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:17.399 going to get upset and lose my joy. Friends, life 0:19:17.440 --> 0:19:21.880 is full of interruptions, inconveniences, things that can cost stress, 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.480 and if we're gonna live happy, we've got to draw 0:19:24.600 --> 0:19:26.960 the line in the sand and say I am not 0:19:27.280 --> 0:19:29.959 going to make a big deal today out of anything 0:19:30.000 --> 0:19:33.040 that's not a big deal. That means I'm not gonna 0:19:33.080 --> 0:19:36.360 get upset if somebody is parked in my signed spot. 0:19:37.160 --> 0:19:39.760 Not gonna live sour. If my children don't like the 0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.679 dinner that I cook them, not gonna lose my peace. 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:45.240 If I go to the hardware store and they're out 0:19:45.280 --> 0:19:48.240 of the park that I need. I realize that's a 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.679 minor inconvenience in this too shall pass. Now. I've learned 0:19:52.720 --> 0:19:56.400 that when I'm upset, when I'm stressed out, I'm out 0:19:56.480 --> 0:19:59.720 of sink with God. I'm out of tune with God. 0:20:00.160 --> 0:20:03.480 It's not his fault. It's not my circumstances fault. It's 0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:06.920 not my spouse's fault. It's my own fault. I've let 0:20:06.960 --> 0:20:10.080 myself get out of balance. And just like you have 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.679 to retune a piano on a regular basis for it 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:16.840 to sound its best, you have to retune your life. 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.560 You've got to come back to that place of peace 0:20:20.000 --> 0:20:24.320 and find out what's stealing your joy. Take inventory. Are 0:20:24.359 --> 0:20:26.520 you making big deals out of things that are not 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.680 a big deal? Are you getting stressed over the traffic, 0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:34.120 a delay and inconvenience? Are you trying to change everybody 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:38.359 allowing their weaknesses to frustrate you? Are you blowing situations 0:20:38.400 --> 0:20:41.760 out of proportion. If we're going to stay in tune 0:20:42.160 --> 0:20:45.080 and be our best each day, we have to make 0:20:45.119 --> 0:20:48.359 adjustments on a daily basis. In other words, at the 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.760 grocery store, somebody is rude to you, No big deal. 0:20:52.040 --> 0:20:54.160 I'm not gonna get upset. They're having a bad day. 0:20:54.400 --> 0:20:57.080 I'm gonna stay in tune. You get out to your 0:20:57.119 --> 0:20:59.480 car and realize that you left your lights on. Now 0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:02.880 it wants. Don't overreact, don't blow it out of proportion. 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.400 Stay in tune. God is still on the throne. Somebody's 0:21:06.440 --> 0:21:08.439 going to be there to help you. You're on the 0:21:08.480 --> 0:21:10.359 freeway in a hurry to get to the airport. You 0:21:10.400 --> 0:21:12.639 got to catch a flight, and you get behind the 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.840 slowest driver in North America. When you change lanes, that 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:20.320 lane slows down, looks like it's following you. Just relax. 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.680 It's not worth getting your blood pressure up over keep 0:21:23.720 --> 0:21:26.720 it in perspective. Even if you were to miss that flight, 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.400 If you believe that God is directing your steps, then 0:21:30.440 --> 0:21:33.320 you know that where you are is where you're supposed 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:36.840 to be. That delay could be keeping you from an accident. 0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.440 That missflight may cause you to meet someone that God's 0:21:40.480 --> 0:21:43.639 been wanting you to meet a divine connection. Stay in tune, 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.480 don't sweat the small stuff. And here's the key. When 0:21:47.480 --> 0:21:51.399 you have a problem, it's good to categorize it. Ask yourself, 0:21:51.800 --> 0:21:55.320 is this a five minute problem, a five hour problem, 0:21:55.680 --> 0:21:58.920 or a five year problem. A five minute problem would 0:21:58.960 --> 0:22:01.840 be things like not find in the car, keys, burning 0:22:01.880 --> 0:22:05.120 the toast, getting caught by a train. A five hour 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:08.760 problem would be missing the flight, having to work late, 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.199 the car won't start. If you'll categorize your problems, I 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:17.240 think you'll be amazed at how much stress and frustration 0:22:17.440 --> 0:22:20.840 and worry we give into over a little five minute 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:23.720 and five hour problems. By the end of the day, 0:22:23.720 --> 0:22:26.119 they're going to be gone. By the time you go 0:22:26.200 --> 0:22:28.560 to bed that night, it's going to all be cleared up. 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.920 It's really not worth getting upset over. I heard somebody say, 0:22:33.480 --> 0:22:37.639 if you can't flee it, don't fight it, just flow 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:40.719 with it. In other words, if you can't change it, 0:22:41.240 --> 0:22:44.119 just relax, stay in peace and go with the flow. 0:22:44.720 --> 0:22:47.000 If you get stuck in traffic, you can't change it, 0:22:47.119 --> 0:22:50.159 just flow with it. If you burn the toast, you 0:22:50.200 --> 0:22:52.520 can't unburn it. It's over and done. Put in a 0:22:52.560 --> 0:22:55.000 new piece and move on. If you have to work 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.520 late and you don't want to, being upset is only 0:22:58.520 --> 0:23:00.720 going to make it seem like it takes longer. It's 0:23:00.720 --> 0:23:04.240 just gonna make you miserable. That's a five hour problem. 0:23:04.720 --> 0:23:07.280 Make a decision. You're going to stay in peace and 0:23:07.359 --> 0:23:09.800 be your best, knowing that by the time you go 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:12.000 to bed, it's going to all be over and done. 0:23:12.720 --> 0:23:16.439 I think it's interesting the Apostle Paul never prayed for 0:23:16.480 --> 0:23:20.440 every challenge to go away. He prayed that God would 0:23:20.480 --> 0:23:23.080 give him the strength to go through them with a 0:23:23.119 --> 0:23:27.840 good attitude. Our level of maturity can be seen by 0:23:27.880 --> 0:23:31.200 how much it takes to get us upset. You've heard 0:23:31.240 --> 0:23:35.520 the saying a small pot boils the quickest. That means 0:23:35.560 --> 0:23:39.359 if we don't have much character, will always be stressed out, 0:23:39.760 --> 0:23:43.240 making mountains out of mole hills. And if we lose 0:23:43.280 --> 0:23:46.280 our cool because our child forgot his homework and we're 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:49.680 aggravated because somebody didn't do something at work we wanted 0:23:49.720 --> 0:23:52.560 him to, and we're upset because the cars making a 0:23:52.560 --> 0:23:55.640 little funny sound that we're not passing the test. We've 0:23:55.680 --> 0:23:58.560 got to grow and mature to the point to where 0:23:58.600 --> 0:24:01.359 we can say what the apostle, Paul said, and Acts 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:06.320 twenty four. None of these things move me. What's amazing 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:11.840 is Paul knew in his future there were challenges, obstacles, heartache. 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:15.320 He knew he was even headed for prison. Yet he said, 0:24:15.400 --> 0:24:18.880 in effect, it's no big deal. I'm not worried about it. 0:24:19.119 --> 0:24:21.760 I know God is still in control. I have a 0:24:21.800 --> 0:24:24.879 destiny to fulfill. I can't flee it, so I'm not 0:24:24.920 --> 0:24:27.439 gonna fight it. I'm just gonna float with it. I 0:24:27.480 --> 0:24:30.959 love the fact that Paul treated big things even as 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:35.280 small things. And when you view your challenges from God's perspective, 0:24:35.600 --> 0:24:38.560 you can reduce them down to size, and even a 0:24:38.600 --> 0:24:42.280 big problem, you'll see it as a little deal. If 0:24:42.280 --> 0:24:44.520 we're not going to make mountains out of mole hills, 0:24:44.840 --> 0:24:47.280 we've got to learn to lighten up and see the 0:24:47.400 --> 0:24:50.440 humor in life. Was in a hotel the other day 0:24:50.480 --> 0:24:52.840 and I got up early in the morning and I 0:24:52.880 --> 0:24:56.920 called room service to order Victoria some coffee in Nobody answered, 0:24:57.320 --> 0:24:59.119 we had to catch a flight real soon, and so 0:24:59.200 --> 0:25:01.360 I put on some jim shorts and a T shirt 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:03.720 and I ran downstairs to see if I could get 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:05.800 her some coffee. In a lot of times the hotel 0:25:05.840 --> 0:25:08.440 will have free coffee. When I got off the elevator, 0:25:08.480 --> 0:25:11.439 over to the left by some ballrooms, I saw several 0:25:11.480 --> 0:25:14.359 tables and they had big containers of coffee, and so 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.399 I went and got Victoria cup and put in it 0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.520 what she likes. As I was walking back to the elevator, 0:25:20.080 --> 0:25:24.920 I heard this lady's voice say, very sternly, excuse me, sir, 0:25:25.440 --> 0:25:28.480 that will be three dollars. I turned around kind of 0:25:28.520 --> 0:25:31.320 laughed and said, oh, I'm sorry. I thought it was free. 0:25:31.560 --> 0:25:34.240 Can I put this charge on my hotel room? She 0:25:34.400 --> 0:25:36.679 was still kind of aggravated. She said, no, sir, you 0:25:36.800 --> 0:25:40.439 may not. We're not associated with the hotel. It'll be 0:25:40.520 --> 0:25:43.640 three dollars in cash. Well, I didn't have any cash, 0:25:43.680 --> 0:25:44.960 and I said, well, let me run up to my 0:25:45.040 --> 0:25:46.880 room real quick and I'll bring it right back down. 0:25:47.480 --> 0:25:49.679 She looked at me and said, how do I know 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:53.920 you're going to come back? I said, look at this face. 0:25:53.960 --> 0:25:55.840 Would I lie to you? I am so innocent. I 0:25:55.880 --> 0:25:58.000 promise i'll come back. She said, no, sir, you need 0:25:58.040 --> 0:26:00.320 to leave something, and so I said, well, I leave 0:26:00.359 --> 0:26:02.720 the coffee. She said, no, you've already bought that. I 0:26:02.760 --> 0:26:05.679 can't reuse that you need to leave something else. I 0:26:05.720 --> 0:26:08.600 only had a T shirt, jim shorts, and tennis shoes. 0:26:09.280 --> 0:26:11.360 I wasn't gonna leave my tennis shoes. I wasn't gonna 0:26:11.400 --> 0:26:13.480 leave my T shirt, and I sure wasn't gonna leave 0:26:13.480 --> 0:26:17.080 my jim shorts. She finally said, all right, well, let 0:26:17.080 --> 0:26:18.800 me go check with my manager and see what we 0:26:18.840 --> 0:26:20.879 need to do. As soon as she got out of 0:26:20.920 --> 0:26:23.240 my sight, I ran to my hotel room as fast 0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:27.080 as I could. I came back down. When I got there, 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:29.800 she said, I was just about to come looking for you. 0:26:31.400 --> 0:26:33.760 Ought dear lord lady, what are you doing selling coffee? 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:38.400 You need to be working for the FBI. I paid 0:26:38.400 --> 0:26:40.160 her my three dollars, and just as I was about 0:26:40.200 --> 0:26:43.600 to leave, she said, hey, wait a minute, aren't you 0:26:43.680 --> 0:26:49.359 that minister. I said, no, ma'am, I'm a dentist. I 0:26:49.480 --> 0:26:53.920 wasn't about to tell her who I was. I repented later. 0:26:56.160 --> 0:27:01.000 What am I saying? Instead of getting bent out of shape? 0:27:01.359 --> 0:27:05.520 I forgot what I'm saying, yo, Instead of getting bent 0:27:05.560 --> 0:27:09.120 out of shape, see the humor in life. Don't blow 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:12.160 things out of proportion, don't overreact. That was a five 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:16.520 minute problem. That wasn't worth getting stressed out over. Friend's 0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:19.720 life is too short to go around making mountains out 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:23.399 of mole hills. So somebody didn't treat you right, Big deal. 0:27:23.600 --> 0:27:26.760 Let it go. Stay in tune. So your plans didn't 0:27:26.800 --> 0:27:30.520 work out, you got delayed, Big deal. God's directing your steps. 0:27:30.760 --> 0:27:33.480 Just flow with it. Maybe you've got a tough week 0:27:33.520 --> 0:27:36.440 ahead of you. But instead of making it bigger by 0:27:36.520 --> 0:27:39.440 dreading it, do like the apostle Paul, see it from 0:27:39.480 --> 0:27:42.840 God's perspective. Reduce it down to size. God is still 0:27:42.840 --> 0:27:45.800 on the throne some of you today, you'd see your 0:27:45.840 --> 0:27:48.080 life go to a new level if you just quit 0:27:48.160 --> 0:27:49.919 making a big deal out of things that are not 0:27:50.000 --> 0:27:53.160 a big deal. Remember it's not our job to make 0:27:53.240 --> 0:27:56.600 everybody around us just like us. Give them the freedom 0:27:56.760 --> 0:27:59.240 to become who God's created them to be. And the 0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:01.959 next time you have challenge, ask yourself, is this a 0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.720 five minute, a five hour, even a five month that's 0:28:05.760 --> 0:28:08.359 not worth living stressed out over. Get up in the 0:28:08.400 --> 0:28:11.359 morning and say to yourself, I will not make a 0:28:11.359 --> 0:28:14.800 big deal out of anything that's not a big deal today. 0:28:14.880 --> 0:28:17.800 If you do that, you're passing the test. No matter 0:28:17.840 --> 0:28:20.040 what comes your way you'll be able to say with 0:28:20.119 --> 0:28:23.480 the Apostle Paul, none of these things move me. You'll 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:26.800 not only be happier and more fulfilled, but your relationships 0:28:26.840 --> 0:28:29.040 will come up to a higher level. And I believe 0:28:29.080 --> 0:28:32.159 and declare you will become everything God's created you to be, 0:28:32.280 --> 0:28:35.240 and you will have everything God intended for you to have.
