THE FIRE OF CONDEMNATION
Anger is a force in human nature. It can be used to productively change morals and establish justice. It is also a characteristic in God. However, anger can also be misguided and cause great chaos, destruction and confusion. Much as the chemical difference of H20 and H3O there is a lite shift of reasoning when responding in improper anger.
The wise approach for anyone who finds themselves in an emotional rage is to pause.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Fools give full vent to their rage, but the wise bring calm in the end”
Proverbs 29:11”)
God is patience with His anger. This is easily witnessed by the grace we see within humanity. We all know that by nature our species is both good & evil. We see the wicked get blessed, forgiven and saved on the regular basis. We also notice that the innocent is harmed and are victims. This causes us to hate injustice. What do we do when someone sin upon us and we have done no harm or nothing wrong to be victimized? Jesus experiences this reality while he was upon this Earth. He is our intercessor for the atonement of sin for all humanity. When we pray to Jesus we should pray, “Lord help us to see you in the brokenness of this world.” Our brokenness transforms to God’s fingerprint of work in our lives.
(SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: “Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me. ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore, I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest upon me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults. In hardship, in persecutions in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong. - II Corinthians 12 8-10
The Great Apostle Paul who considered himself the least of all the apostles boldly approaches the matter of injustice. In his suffering, pain, and frustration he experiences gratitude through the grace of God. Godly sorrow produces repentance (SPIRITUAL REFLECTION: II Corinthians 7:10) This is what we should seek when we search for answers to our inner problems. The world says, “change your behavior”, Jesus says, “change your heart”. This solution can only be done by the Hands of Christ himself. Let him work within your inner being to prove good spiritual fruit within your life.
