Let Go of the Anger: Turn to God

Showered in God's loveWhoever is angry with his brother will be liable to judgement. (Matthew 5:22)

Anger that’s a tough one. Sometimes I can be an angry person and as I’ve gotten older it has become more pronounced. I have always thought of myself as a positive person. I used to say that my husband and I were made to be together because while he was the realist and always seeemed to look to the negative and see the worst possible outcomes I always looked for the best. Years of doing this give and take between us, raising four kids and weathering the storms of life have wrought a not so pretty change in me. Even though I still see the good in things, I am quicker to see the negatives and respond in anger. I have developed a hair trigger, where the slightest comment can send me on a downward spiral into anger and negativity.

This Lent I chose to look for God’s grace instead of sinking into that whirlpool. I will borrow a prayer  from the WORD among us  that was in last night’s devotion.

Jesus you became a man so that I could become like you. I believe in your grace. Lord I ask for your help right now.

We are not meant to travel these storms alone. Instead we should turn to God, lean on the Holy Spirit, hold the hand of Jesus. Acknowledge your faith and turn to God. Do you become angry easily or let your anger pull you in the wrong direction, away from God and toward Satan?

Time to Listen

 

The way God got my attention

The word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. (Jonah 3:1)

Jonah ran away from God the first time. It took a stay in the belly of the whale and a second call from God before Jonah followed God’s will. How many times does God us before we heed Him? Do we even take the time to listen for His word?

God speaks to us in many different ways. For me He has spoken to me in dreams, in songs, in Bible verses.  One of the ways, and I think this rates right up there with the belly of the whale, is my youngest daughter Ana. A late in life baby, born after I had already raised three children. The message, I had become complacent and it was time to stop not listening, not searching, not asking God. Other times like this Lent God is speaking to me through Bible verses and songs. The real trick here, becomes am I listening.
