WHAT I'M DOING
Today's reading: Malachi

"But you dishonor my name with your actions..." Malachi 1:12 NLT

Okay, so maybe I didn't allow myself to throw a cussing, screaming, fall down on the floor fit in the middle of the aisle of the store which sold the very last one of what I went in search of. But I wanted to!

And maybe I didn't tell the person off that I really wanted to--that really deserved it--that really could have used a piece of my mind--that really apparently needed a good tongue lashing. But I wanted to!

Maybe I didn't let my anger get the best of me and toss my stack of papers in the air with an exasperated 'hrumppphh'. But I wanted to!

Maybe, just maybe there were no outward signs of my dislike, distaste, disappointment, disgust--but God knows my attitude.

And my heart actions. The bitterness I'm hanging on to. The murmurings under my breath. The haughty puff of my heart. The things I'm doing to another in my heart and in my head.

And there is a very good possibility that He is not pleased with them.

Dishonored by them, actually.
