Just had a wonderful chat with Warren Billion and it’s so amazing to see young Christian men pushing a vision to see Christ glorified in our generation💪
Hey. Its a good day to wake up and praise the Lord!
I've recently been learning about anger, about the gravity of that one feeling.
1. Makes you take irrational decisions which you may later regret
2. Scars relationships
3. Brings shame and sometimes guilt after the drama is done
4. IT DOESN'T GLORIFY OR PLEASE GOD!
One day, after I'd been sooo convinced I was in the right and was justified to be angry...as I approached my bed to lie down, a heavy thought tugged at my heart. "You've proved your point...you too can be angry. Aren't you now tired of carrying that weight around?"
I thought back to my moment of sparring rage, and broke down. "Lord! For how long will I be taken advantage of and disrespected because they know I'm Christian and will probably be patient? Is that fair?" I cried.
Exodus 14.14 along with other scriptures popped up.
"The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still."
"Vengeance is for the Lord".
My eyes were opened. I only needed to trust in Him. That many times, it may look like I'm defenceless but I need to have faith in my heart that my Father sees me. Not only so but I also needed to think in the moment about whether God would be pleased or glorified by my choice!
They say "Just because a lady can open the door by herself, it doesnt mean she has to."
Friends, "Just because you can probably fight for yourself, it doesnt mean you have to."
Trust God to do it for you, knowing that He may choose to either rebuke or have mercy on the person you have a grievance with. Thats what we're called to do....to trust that He knows best.
No matter what my friend had done, the price I was going to pay for choosing to hold on to anger was going to be much greater.
I'm now on a journey of overcoming anger! And praise be to God, last night I refused to succumb!!
Friends, trust God with your situation. He listens, and knows the best remedy.
