It was early morning, and I was fixing my coffee for my daily quite time. And there sat the salt shaker....out of place....again. I quickly picked it up, and said to myself...."If I have to move this one more time, I am going to snap!" I was about to slam the salt shaker into it's rightful place...when i was slammed by the Holy Spirit. "Hey....you miss the mark too". My arm stopped in mid air, holding the salt shaker in tact. That was a holy moment over some spilled salt. I was upset about the salt shaker being a half-inch from my preferred place on the counter, when the Spirit reminded me that sometimes I am not in the right place with Him. Ouch, that jolted me more than the freshly brewed coffee.
I was reminded of my unawareness.
I was reminded of my constant imperfections.
I was reminded of my constant imperfections.
I was reminded of my unkind intentions.
I must make my every word and action count, keeping Christ as my example and responding with the fruits of the Spirit.

All this from a salt shaker out of place. What is out of place in your life?
