This morning, I stood in the kitchen making eggs for breakfast. As I cracked each one, I had to stir them while the heat from the stove began to rise. With the last egg, some of the shell accidentally fell into the skillet.
My first reaction was to reach in and pull it out. I tried, but it was impossible to grab through the slimy egg white...and besides that...it was really hot.
As the eggs continued to cook, I had to think fast. Using the spatula, I tried to fish it out. No such luck. It was a small piece and it kept slipping away again.
Suddenly I remembered hearing that the easiest way to get a bit of eggshell out, ironically, was with an eggshell.
Taking one broken half of the shell, I scooped it slightly through the skillet and sure enough, the tiny piece came right along with it.
The solution was right there in front of me the whole time, I just hadn't realized it yet. It was a simple fix that actually worked well, but I had to do what I thought I should do first. In life, this seems to happen quite often. We can beat our heads against the wall trying to do things our own way or how we feel they should be done. This doesn't always lead to a clean cut solution, however.
God puts answers right in front of us, more than we could ever imagine. Sometimes the solution can even be found right in our own two hands.
It's up to us to be willing to put our own agenda aside and see what possibilities might come.
After all, you never know how wonderful discovering the answers in life might be...even if it's only one eggshell at a time.
