ARG!!
So frustrating and confusing sometimes. Random things. Or everything. Life. Whatevers. Anything.
The temptation is to not think about it, or to deny it and claim that everything is fine, but the bottle only has so much capacity before it bubbles over or bursts.
Wrestling. We do it all the time. We do it when we pray: we wrestle in prayer; we wrestle with convictions, with God's word. We wrestle God.
I just think of Jacob wrestling God and not giving up till God blessed him. He definitely needed that blessing from God.
I really want to wrestle God. But there's a different between wrestling God and taking it out on God. Wrestling still carries reverence and fear, and you are still after the heart of God. Taking it out on God is slapping God in the face; it is being pridefully ungratefully angry at God, as if our sense of justice was higher than His. There is a fine line distinction between the two that I need to learn. Between wrestling with God and taking it out on God. You would think that it would be so obvious, since it's clearly very different.
