ANGRY AT GOD
Today's reading: Proverbs 19

"People ruin their lives by their own foolishness and then are angry at the Lord." Proverbs 19:3 NLT

Maybe the conversation has gone like this...

'Lord, why in the world didn't you stop me?'

'God, how could You have let me do this--again?'

'Creator, couldn't You have wired me differently?'

'Lord, look at the mess You've allowed me to make of this!'

God has not created us to be robots.

It would have been easier for Him, I'm sure, if He had, but He has not.

Robots cannot choose to love Him.

They cannot choose to serve Him.

They cannot devote themselves to worshiping Him.

They are only wired to do what their programs will allow.

He has given us a free will. One that balks. One that disobeys. One that refuses to listen.

He loves the free will He has given us--even when we mess up, because it is what draws us to Him for comfort, for forgiveness, for peace.

Today I'm choosing to love God even more for allowing me to choose, albeit poorly, at times...it shows how very much He truly loves me!
