Letting the rage go.....

Surrender yourself to the LORD, and wait patiently for him. Do not be preoccupied with an evildoerwho succeeds in his way when he carries out his schemes. 

Let go of anger, and leave rage behind. Do not be preoccupied. It only leads to evil.

Psalm 37: 7-9

People do wrong against other people all day, everyday.  We see on the news the crimes, the schemes, the mistreatment - it's a crazy world we will in.  And every one of us has had something done that makes us mad - sends us into a rage in some cases.  But what can you REALLY do to someone that does you wrong that won't put you in harm's way?  It may not be physical, but you could open yourself to retaliation.  And then there's the mental side - all that time and energy you devote to your rage sucks time away from you doing something productive and useful for yourself.  Nothing happens that God doesn't know about - and if you believe in him and are truly his child, he will protect you and won't let true harm come to you.  And he will see that those who wrong his children pay for their ways - so there's nothing you can do that God can't..... why keep festering about it?  Let it go!

Easier SAID than done!!  lol - anger is a combustible emotion - meaning it's like lighter fluid on charcoal - once you get it lit, it will burn for quite some time.  It actually almost feels good as it feeds on itself, you feel justified the more you revel in it.  But you're taking away from your privilege, your honor and your blessings the more you let negativity control you.  

I challenge you to sit back and be patient with anyone who has wronged or slighted you - be patient and watch God's plan for them unfold.  It may take days, weeks, years, even - but it will come - that person will be taught a lesson at God's hand - there is no better lesson plan to be had!  So, have a forgiving heart - not for the other person, BUT FOR YOU.  You deserve better and you shall have it - for HE will make it so!

Be Blessed!!!!

Thanks MM!... *head held low* I will pack this one away for tomorrow before I meet with my boss.

I've got the habit of saying I'll show them better then I can tell then. I'm tied of showing them and will let God do the showing.
I've let myself get exhausted trying to make other understand it time to let God have a hand in this lesson. 

I tend to keep my rage in unless I'm playing sports, but Double Ayy text me that Oprah/KFC ish and I was outraged that I can't get that chicken!!
