Dont Piss God Off

There is a difference between God and I. (obviously) I am speaking in reference to anger. I can remember even in the last year being so angry that I just want to rip some ones head clean off. Like the fit of rage that you just want to destroy anything in your close proximity. I can even remember in practice I over reached to something my team was doing. I got so frustrated that I wanted to kick someones face in. A better analogy tho is perhaps when I drive. I think of most people on the road as inferior to me. Especially if they are woman. I get so angry when people don\’t drive as perfect as I do. Obviously i am delusional if i believe I am a perfect driver and that everyone is inferior. I was reading in Habakkuk and came across this…

Habakkuk’s Complaint

²How long, Lord, must I call for help,
 but you do not listen? 
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
 but you do not save? 
³Why do you make me look at injustice?
 Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? 
Destruction and violence are before me;
 there is strife, and conflict abounds.
⁴Therefore the law is paralyzed,
 and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
 so that justice is perverted.

The Lord’s Answer

⁵“Look at the nations and watch—
 and be utterly amazed. 
For I am going to do something in your days
 that you would not believe,
 even if you were told. 
⁶I am raising up the Babylonians,[a] 
 that ruthless and impetuous people,
who sweep across the whole earth 
 to seize dwellings not their own. 
⁷They are a feared and dreaded people; 
 they are a law to themselves
 and promote their own honor.
⁸Their horses are swifter than leopards,
 fiercer than wolves at dusk.
Their cavalry gallops headlong;
 their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like an eagle swooping to devour;
⁹ they all come intent on violence.
Their hordes[b] advance like a desert wind
 and gather prisoners like sand.
¹⁰They mock kings
 and scoff at rulers. 
They laugh at all fortified cities;
 by building earthen ramps they capture them.
¹¹Then they sweep past like the wind and go on—
 guilty people, whose own strength is their god.”

This is an awesome interchange. If I understand it correctly I am seeing an ignorant driver complaining about the traffic and why there are bad driver. That might be a stretch but I guess my huge point with all of this is boils down to if anyone has a right to do what he wants and to get pissed its God. I think the more I understand about God the less and less I complain about what God is doing in my life. Dont get me wrong, its still hard as heck but I become more and more content. Its crazy the things and doors that God opens up in my life. I pray that i can continue to put my unconditional trust into what God wants for my life.
