Don't Be Mad at God

Bitterness, anger and resentment are issues that a lot of people, including the people of God, have to work out and work through. If these are issues that you know are lurking in your spirit, I would strongly suggest that you be very prayerful, and ask the Lord to deliver you from these ungodly spirits (Ephesians 4). For where God is getting ready to take His people, we cannot afford to be operating with unforgiveness and bitterness in our hearts. And remember, the Scripture says very clearly that if you don't forgive your brothers and sisters their trespasses, then the Father will not forgive you of your sins either (Matthew 6). Trust me, whatever someone has done or not done to you is not worth burning in hell for eternity. So by the Grace of God, let us learn to truly forgive those who sin against us.

However, what I'm discovering is that there are people, once again the children of God, who aren't only mad at other people (and in some cases mad at themselves) but they're also mad at God. This is not something that the church likes to readily admit, but it's the truth. There are more than a few Christians who are truly upset with the Lord. They're not going to admit it because it's not the "Christian thing to do" to be mad at God, but they are nonetheless. Saints, we first have to be real with ourselves and then we must proceed to make peace with God. Please, whatever you do, Don't Be Mad with God.

One of the reasons why some people are Mad at God is because of how certain things have gone down in their lives. A lot of people question God's love for them based upon how a Sovereign God has allowed some pretty jacked up things to transpire in their lives. Let us first understand that God is not to blame for some of the messed up things that have gone down in your life. If you want to blame anybody in the spirit realm, blame the Devil! He's the only one committed to raising hell in your life. But quit all this, "Lord if you really loved me, then you wouldn't have let "so and so" happen to me". This attitude and spirit is not of God. God Loves You. Please hear me, GOD LOVES YOU!  So quit blaming God for the problems and hardships and heartaches you've had to endure in your life. The Bible says, "and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose" (Romans 8). God has a purpose for what He's allowed you to go through, and It's Good; but in order to receive it, you have to stop being Mad at God.

Lastly saints, if we're going to stop being Mad at God, we must adopt the posture and position of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ. In the Garden of Gethsemane, before the worst suffering any man has ever endured on the earth, Jesus said, "not My will, but ThyWill be done" (Luke 22). There was a supernatural resignation to the Will of The Father on behalf of The Son. There's a mystery to human existence that we have yet to fully embrace, even as believers in Christ: IT'S NOT ABOUT US. Whether we realize it or not, it really is ALL ABOUT GOD. And once we resign our self-centeredness and ego to this Eternal Reality, we will understand that it really profits us nothing to Be Mad at God.
