SNIT, TWIT, OR WRONG SIDE OF THE BED

Have you ever started a day feeling off-kilter. At 2211, in my early years, Mother would say, "Looks like someone got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning."
Lysa TerKeurest said, "I woke up one morning in a twit." Embraced devotional (p. 259)  I, too, as Terkheurst says, am not even sure what a twit is unless one adds a "ter" to it. These day everyone knows what twitter is. 
TerKhurst describes a twit as "all twisted up with irritation sprinkled on top."

To me, that's a snit. I can wake up in a snit. Even a slight traffic delay, computer snafu or 45 minute hold on the phone can throw me into one. 
Regardless of the word choice for irritation/agitation, there's a real "choice" to be made! 
Choose to focus on God and not the "bum circumstance." Pause--inhale, exhale! Then choose.
 
His presence can unleash peace--enough peace for any snit, twit or wrong side of the bed! (Philippians 4:7)
