I recently listened to a Joel Osteen sermon (whom I have recently discovered is an awesome preacher). He was preaching on the topic Knowing What To Ignore.
"If you're going to live in victory you have to be very selective as to what you give your time and attention to." Right there I was captivated! He used the analogy of the eagle and crow. An eagle can fly as high as 20 000ft in the air. A crow, which is very agile and can easily maneuver its way around the largely built eagle, would often try to pester and aggravate the eagle. HOWEVER, the eagle knows it can fly at altitudes that the crow cannot. So, instead of getting upset or trying to fight with the crow at its level, the eagle simply rises higher and higher until eventually the crow falls off.
This was very personal to me because I am not a person who likes conflict. Infact, world peace would actually suit me just fine. Sometimes not every battle is a battle for you to fight. Learn to ignore somethings and trust on what and Who you know.
