We’re Mad At Who???
Proverbs 19:3(NIV) People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord.
Doing what we want to do with no regard to the consequences that may result is foolish on our part. Even more foolish is when things don’t turn out well for us, and we project our anger towards God. Too many of us use this as an excuse to fall away from God and not be engaged with the church body. We want to live life on our terms. Anything contrary to that is an object of our resentment. Some honest self-evaluation would do us some good. Instead of going around resenting God for our foolishness, we ought to be paying attention to how He has instructed us to live. Until we do this, we’ll continue to be angry. But we’ll be mad at ‘who’? We may think we’ll be mad at God, but we’ll really be mad at…ourselves.
