WELL, IS IT?

Today's reading: Jonah

"The Lord replied, Is it right for you to be angry about this?" Jonah 4:4 NLT

Ever had the Lord ask you the same things?

About something that's upset your apple cart.

Something that's not gone your well-planned way.

Something that leaves you bitter, angry, alone, uncomfortable.

I can see sullen, sulking, shoulders drooping Jonah standing on the hillside overlooking Ninevah. I can hear him sigh in disbelief. I can see on his face a disgruntled attitude.

All because it didn't turn out like he thought it would.

Like he thought it should.

Like he was God.

Ouch--I certainly got personal real fast, didn't I.

Is it right for us to be angry about the things we're carrying around in our hearts and in our heads? Do we see the whole picture? Can we see into the future in regards to the issue?

I don't think so. Let's trust God with it!
