My Reflections

I will not be offended by God!

Luke 7:23
And blessed is he whosoeuer shall not be offended in me.

Have you ever felt angry or offended by God? Write about it.

Yes, I have, on more than one occasion. At one point, I was so angry at God, I was physically screaming at him. At times when we are grieving and broken, it is our natural human reaction to feel angry at God. I am not saying we should. However, it is in our human nature. We are not alone in feeling that way. However, I have realized when we get that angry at God, We are showing a lack of trust in him. He is Sovereign and has the bigger picture in mind. All things work together for the overall good of everyone called according to God's purpose. No it is not easy to have that complete child-like faith in God at all times. We all come short of God's glory more than we like to admit. It is also easy to get angry at things we don't understand. This is why we should not lean on our own understanding, but in all our ways acknowledge God. He will heal our hurts and eventually take away our sorrows. He will direct our path!
