ANGRY WITH GOD?
(Rom 8:28, Matth 11:2-6)
When
deferred hope prompts a person to issue queries to God, it is an indication of
the person taking offence towards God. We have to settle it in our hearts as
children of God that there can never be justifiable grounds for us to pick a
fight with God. You can ask God clarification of issues, but to query him, that
is no go area. The case of John the Baptist in our bible reading is one glaring
example of this practice which some of us also indulge in.
John
had himself acknowledged Jesus to be the Lamb that takes away sins in John 1:29.
But much Later, in the midst of his trouble with King Herod’s taking of his
brother’s wife, he sent his disciples to Jesus. This time, it was not to
complement Jesus, but to air his doubt about who he had proclaimed him to be.
Why did it come to this? It was because he expected that Jesus as Messiah ought
to have known about his situation and to have either spoken or applied his
POWER in getting him out of Herod’s Custody. To be imprisoned is not a
palatable experience, yet our Knowledge and confidence in God’s ability, Love,
Faithfulness and goodness should not be challenged by our life experiences.
Jesus replied John’s emissaries in Matthew 11:6
We
must be careful in the midst of challenges never to allow offence against God
set in our heart.
There
is no one who has been saved for ten years, who would not ask questions about
seeing corresponding results or answer to some prayers. However you must
realize that Life is in Phases. Ps 37:25. Take for example Joseph: First, he
was his father’s favorite with a special coat. Gen. 37:3, Next he was the
dreamer. Gen 37:19, then he was an interpreter of dreams. Gen 40:1-22. And
finally he became the prime minister. Gen 41:39-46. The journey of life for
Joseph was not all smooth sailing , but his end was glorious. Joseph did not
begin to issue queries against God in the evil days of his life experiences.
Life is in Phases. In the eyes of Men, some Phases are bad while some are good.
As a child of God you must remember that; All things work together for good….Rom
8:28
