WHO's Mad at Me?

A lot of times, I hear people say, “Well, I don’t care, I’m just really mad at God right now.”

OMG, people! Don’t play with fire! Some ministers will tell you that “God’s big enough to handle your anger.” But let me ask you this, are you big enough to handle God’s anger? I doubt it.

Let’s get some facts straight:

• God does not change. (Mal 3:6)
  
• God is an all-consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29)
  
• God gets angry at the sound of our words. (Deut 1:34)
  

So where does your anger toward God come from? It comes from your soul demanding something that God doesn’t give; or blaming God for something the enemy did to you; or being really ticked off because God didn’t fix something you insisted on doing to yourself. But boil it all down and your anger comes from not being grateful for what God has done in your life and complaining about it.

Whew! Harsh!

Our soul is a very demanding entity…it wants its rights! It demands its rights! But it has no rights. Everything you are and everything you do were purchased through the shed blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary’s cross. How dare you think you have the “right” to be mad at God? And if you are mad at God, get over it! You simply have no right to think you can stand before your Creator Who forgave your sins and gave you eternal life and say, “I’m mad at you.” How dare you?

Don’t fall for that ooey-gooey philosophy that says God will forgive everyone for everything. Yes, He is a loving and merciful Father, but the scriptures are clear that we must confess our sins before Him and THEN He is faithful and just to forgive them. You now know from the above scripture that the sound of your complaining words can anger God…so be careful what comes out of your mouth. Be grateful for what He has done for you; your anger demonstrates an unappreciative attitude. Please, beloved, re-evaluate how you have perhaps come to be angry with God, repent and ask His forgiveness…and just for giggles, read Hebrews 10:26-31.
