lashing out

Christ did it best! To calmly sit and wait for the ideal moment, to weave together not only the tool, but the path to restoration. We do not have that collective about our persons. Many times people have told and encouraged others that remaining calm and working out our mindset to build the bridge of restoration, but our puny human nature is not that of restoration. Rage and defensiveness come in overwhelming our higher moral judgment to the point where all bridges are burned. We do not allow the spirit of God our mediator the holy Spirit to find a way to turn the tables. We try turning our way, the opposition turns them their way, but letting the Spirit turn the tables is to ensure God's perfect will is achieved. Do you see Jesus outside the town as worshipers pas by to trade their goods, gossips, and complaints at the temple? The way mosaic law was written was not being followed, God's intent for man was far gone, the tables were about to be turned..over He took His time. How are our bargaining tables with God and with each other. Seems we have set them upright 2,000 years after Jesus' tantrum. We bargain time after time on the precepts of our religions. Turning the tables on each other for the merits of our offerings and the practices we observe in worship. Do you see Jesus outside our temples yet? Waiting! Braiding His whip. Are we gathered at the table rationalizing our actions in worship, in life, in spiritual growth? Here He comes!
