Holy Rage

I can't even begin to put to words the anger that is brewing inside of me right now. I'm so tired of the injustice that is around me. I'm tired of seeing young kids having to go through more pain than any of us can even imagine. I'm tired of the devil getting footholds in the lives of so many. I'm tired of the lies and the abuse. I'm so tired and so angry.

I imagine Jesus felt like this when He walked into the temple and saw that they had turned the place of worship into a place of trade. That's exactly what has happened in our world. We have turned the place that God created to be a place of worship to Him into a place of trade. We have traded the presence of God for relationships that will never last. We have traded the glory of knowing our Father for glorifying ourselves. We have traded joy, peace and love for "happiness", war, and hatred. I want to do nothing more than turn over these tables and rebuke everyone involved and everyone sitting back doing nothing. How can we just sit and watch as children are abused? It's not right! We are supposed to be Jesus in this world, so it's time to start turning over tables. It's time to start being His hands, feet, and voice in this broken world. There is no time to waste. The time is now. We are the way God has made and there is no plan B.
