Earlier this week I needed to call customer service for a company that had sent
something to me in error. My flesh was trying to rise up in irritation about the problem and that I needed to deal with it. I asked God to help me keep my flesh under control and to deal
with this matter as He willed.
When I called, my call was initially answered by an automated system which prompted me
to choose from options for what I needed. I was having trouble
getting to talk to a person. Now my flesh was rising up in frustration. I kept asking God
to help me.
When my call was finally transferred to a person, I started explaining the problem. As I heard myself talk, it surprised me how calmly I spoke. My words were not puffed up and there was not even sharpness in my voice as is often the
case when my flesh takes over. As I heard this, I started thanking
God knowing HE had helped me.
