One day an eagle swooped down and caught up a weasel. As the big bird flew away, its wings suddenly went limp, and it dropped to the ground like a brick. With just oneblow, the tiny weasel struck the eagle’s heart and killed it. Bitterness will do the same thing to you!
We all get angry at times, but Solomon says only a fool allows it to move in and take up residence.
Max Lucado writes, “Hatred begins like the crack in my windshield. Thanks to a speeding truck on a gravel road, my window was chipped. With time, the nick becamea crack and the crack a winding tributary. Now I can’t drive my car without thinking about the jerk that drove too fast. Though I’ve never seen him, I could describe him. He’s a dead-beat who probably cheats on his wife, drives with a 6-pack on his seat, and keeps his television up so loud that the neighbours can’t sleep.”
Blind rage will sour your outlook. It’ll break your back, not to mention your spirit. You’ll buckle under the weight of it. The mountain before you is steep enough without carrying that load. Drop it! You’ll never be called upon to give more grace, than God has already given you.
Want to set yourself free today? Pray, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do” (Luke 23:34). Want to please God? Listen, “If you suffer for doing good, and you are patient, then God is pleased” (1 Peter 2:20 NCV).
