When The Christian Gets Ticked Off. Part [8] 07/26/2025 (Morning thought)

Psalms 92:1 It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High: 2 To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.

Even though Jesus did not get ticked off in a particular instance, He did voice His observation when only one of the ten lepers who were healed, returned to give thanks. The other nine took the healing, and went on their merry way, without turning back to thank Christ for restoring them from one of the most loathsome diseases at that time, and Jesus made a public note of it. Let’s read:

Luke 17: 12 And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off. 13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. 14 And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go show yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. 15 And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

Luke 17:16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan. 17 And Jesus answering said, were there not ten cleansed? but where are the nine? 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger. 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.

Psalms 136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endures forever. 4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endures forever. 5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endures forever.

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

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!
