Jonah 4:4 -- On Stepping Back from Anger

"Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?"
Jonah 4:4


A question from God that pretty much answers itself, but a good thing to think about. God doesn't ask because he is wondering, but because we (in this case, Jonah, but likening it unto ourselves) need to reevaluate what is driving those feelings and perhaps learn to expand our perspectives, understanding the other sides to the situation, but especially God's perspective, which is long-term and perfect.

Today, let's step back from our anger and remember that God is the weaver of the tapestry that we are all part of, and he can teach us and help us to see the pattern more clearly, if we seek him.
