Angry with God

Angry with God

I few years ago I remember getting a job that I always wanted in the Pharma industry. It was like a dream come true. Things were looking good or the family; I finally got a job where my wife at the time could stay home with the girls. It was a great job. A few years later I had the opportunity to move to another pharma company and it paid better and all things you want. So I took the job because this is what I wanted. This job was seemed a lot better than the last job. I was doing or well at the job and about a year into the Job I received a phone call that they would be announcing layoffs. I few days later I received the call that my area would be affected and I lost my Job. This was a bad day for me. I remember that week I was so mad a t God. I thought you gave me this job and now you are taking it away from why. I was in the front yard and I was yelling at God. I hit my knees and yelled why? I remember God saying to me this is not the job I gave to you this is the Job you took without asking me. This is what you wanted to so I let you go your way. I thought to myself and said you know what you are right. I wanted this Job because of the money and it was what I wanted not what God wanted. However I was still mad at God.

Matthew 27:46 says “My God my God, why have you abandoned me?”  The thing is he didn’t we abandoned him. We went our own ways. It’s ok to be angry at God for a short time, but don’t walk away from your relationship with him. Don’t allow your anger to become uncontrolled. Instead work through the anger and emotions. Your relationship with him will grow deeper and stronger. In time, you will look back on this time with a renewed spirit of the glories God can do. I know this to be true. I know there are things that don’t go the way we want and we do get angry, but God has a plan for us. There are things we lose in life that we thought we would never lose. I know this to be very true, but we have to look at our actions and deal with our consequences of not listening to God and going our own way.
