Grace for your spirit
And the Lord said, "Do you have good reason to be angry?
Jonah 4:4
Jonah defied God's call. He ran from His presence. He took a three day ride in a whale. He preached repentance to his enemies and was wildly successful. His success made him angry. Later a plant that he was using for shade died. This made him angry too. We might say today that Jonah had "anger issues." The Lord had given him success in his mission and provided for him. He had no good reason for being angry. How about us? Does anger issues control our lives, even when we are successful. If anyone has the right to be angry, it is God. So, cut it out.
