You ever had a tiny pebble in your shoe? It's amazing how just a tiny pebble can cause so much pain and irritation.

"Then Haman recounted to them the glory of his riches, and the number of his sons, and every instance where the king had magnified him and how he had promoted him above the princes and servants of the king. Haman also said, "Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king. Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."" Esther 5:11-13

Haman knew all the great things he had and were continuing to happen in his life. Even when sharing them all this one tiny thing changed his demeanor. He allowed this one thing to distract from everything else. Mordecai wasn't the issue though. The things in his heart were the issue. Proverbs 23:4 says, "Watch over your heart with all diligence, For from it flow the springs of life."

Small issues in your heart even the size of a pebble can cause irritation and pain spiritually. Best to stop and deal with it sooner than later. Give those things to the Lord and walk in freedom with the Lord instead.
