Angry With God

2 Samuel 6:3&8  "They placed the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it from Abinadab’s house, which was on a hill. Uzzah and Ahio, Abinadab’s sons, were guiding the cart as it left the house... David was angry because the Lord’s anger had burst out against Uzzah. He named that place Perez-uzzah (which means “to burst out against Uzzah”), as it is still called today"

David got angry with God, but it wasn't God fault. Uzzah's death was the result of David's sin. God had given the children of Israel specific instructions on how to transport the ark of the covenant. But David refused to do it God's way and choose to carry it upon a cart.

Our world is full of people who are angry with God, but it is not his fault. We are blaming God for things that God had nothing to do with. One of the greatest revelations you can ever get is that the source of all sorrow, pain and heart ache is rooted in sin, self and Satan. Every time you have suffered, your suffering can be traced to sin, self or Satan. Sometimes it's your sin that causes you to suffer, sometimes it is someone else's sin that causes you to suffer and sometimes it is the curse of sin upon our lives and this planet that causes you to suffer, but it is not God. He is for you and not against you.

In order to truly understand God plan for humanity you have to go back to the beginning. In the beginning there was no sin and there was no suffering, pain or death. God's original plan for your life was love, joy and peace, but in Genesis 3:1-7 we see the demonic trinity of sin, self and Satan come together and from that moment on our world and our lives have been marked and scarred by suffering, sorrow and pain. And from that time we see God covering our sin and making a way through his Son for us to once again experience life and life abundant.

Understand that God is big enough to handle your anger, and he doesn't step back from your life because your angry with him. But please hear me, you are not big enough or strong enough to handle life and eternity without God. As long as you are angry with God, you are trapped in deception and Satan has you in a prison, because your anger has caused you to separate yourself from God. Who is your only hope of recovery and life. My prayer for you is that you will see the truth and understand that the source of your pain is sin, self and Satan. God loves you and has been fighting for you through all of your heart aches and trials. Reach out to him and you will be amazed at how quickly he will wrap you in his arms.
