When The Christian Gets Ticked Off. Part [7] 07/26/2025 (Evening thought)

Matthew 7: 12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

This particular scenario, of a man leaving his wife of many years, for someone who is younger and more perky, has happened recently and it could become the norm if persons play follow the leader. But this is not what God intended, and when it occurs, the wife could become very ticked off even if she is a Christian, as she sees herself forsaken, in favor of another.

Malachi 2: 13 And this have ye done again, covering the altar of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with crying out, insomuch that he regarded not the offering any more, nor received it with good will at your hand. 14 Yet ye say, wherefore? Because the Lord hath been witness between thee and the wife of thy youth, against whom thou hast dealt treacherously: yet is she thy companion, and the wife of thy covenant.

But one of the things that hurts the most is when a person manifests ingratitude for kindness shown to him or her. When one has no regard for what good is done to his or her person, and when there is not any acknowledgement to the benefactor, the Christian in some instances might get ticked off. This isn’t a justification for losing your cool, all we’re saying is that it can produce feelings of anger when it occurs.

1st Chronicles 16:34 O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endures for ever. 35 And say you, Save us, O God of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When The Christian Gets Ticked Off. Part [6] 07/25/2025 (Morning thought)

Genesis 16:4 And he went in unto Hagar, and she conceived: and when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes. 5 And Sarai said unto Abram, My wrong be upon thee: I have given my maid into thy bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes: the Lord judge between me and thee.

There’s something very important for us to consider in the narrative which often gets overlooked but has to be addressed, since it is becoming acceptable in high and low places. Hagar was obviously much younger than Sarah was, and it has been observed on numerous occasions, that when a wife gets into her golden years that the husband in some instances will start looking for one who is younger and more vibrant than his wife.

At times, this ends in divorce as the husband seeks out pleasure and a new life with one who is younger while the former wife is left holding the proverbial bag. This scenario has been especially observed in rich men who can afford it, and for some reason it seems to be on the uptick. Husbands and wives should try their best to be all they can be to each other, and they should be there for each other in the evening of their days, for even though the man might be strong, and perky for the while, he must never forget his wife’s labor of love.

In addition to this he must always keep in mind the fact that one day, he too would be on the other side of the mountain, and since what goes around often comes around, who knows, the husband might also be forsaken at a time when he might need the love and care of his former wife who was despised.

Genesis 16:6 But Abram said unto Sarai, Behold, thy maid is in thine hand; do to her as it pleaseth thee. And when Sarai dealt hardly with her, she fled from her face.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
