Indiana has a lot of two lane country roads. I often drive these roads to get to our grandchilren’s many sporting events and concerts. Many times I will get frustrated with slow traffic in front of me, keeping me from arriving at my destination when I want to get there. I get angry because my desired outcome is not obtained.
James 4:2 says, “You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have, because you do not ask.” We get angry when we don’t get what we want. At those times we should ask God to provide what we need, not just what we want. When we are willing to wait upon God for His provision for our needs, our wants are put in the background and our anger passes away. In providing for our needs, He will give us every good and perfect gift, far beyond what we desired.
