Mad at God
Dear Mosaic Boston Family,
Have you ever been angry with God? We've all certainly been disappointed when God's plan doesn't coincide with ours. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about something deeper, more seething. Have you ever literally or figuratively raised your fist and shouted at God? You ever flip God the bird (or wanted to)? When you didn't get in to the school you wanted. When you didn't get that job. When you were rejected by a loved one? That time you were betrayed by a close friend. When you hear about that diagnosis... or your diagnosis. When we don't get something we want or when we get something we don't want, we're infuriated!! When we did all the right things, and God didn't do what we expected, and we feel powerless to do anything about it.
So, what do we do? What do we do with our anger at God? Tomorrow, we'll look at a curious passage in which Jesus gets a crowd so angry, that they actually carry him to a cliff to through him off. They were so angry, they wanted to murder God. Why? What did He say?
Join us tomorrow as we look at Luke 4:14-30, and ask ourselves, are we angry at God? If so, what do we do?
Praying for you!
Pastor Jan
