Fear Causes Rage
Fear causes rage, those who are fearful of not being able to control another person will display temper tantrums rather than discuss something to come to a consensus and agreement.
Those who want their own way all the time will be intimidated by someone who wants something different from them.
Intense fear overrides rational thinking and empathy to understand another human being.
We are not what others think we are, we are what God thinks of us.
The opinions of others about us are never completely accurate because they are basing what they think of us on their own mindset and prejudices. They also often judge us not according to our life but according to their jealousies and insecurities toward us.
God was very intricate in how He made each of us. No one can know the inner workings of our soul, we can only make judgments based on what we see people doing and saying but we cannot judge what God has told them to do that we cannot see.
Intimidation to cause others to capitulate to their desires is not Godly. God never forces, treats with contempt or demeans others into obedience to Him and we should not do it to others.
Fearful people consider requests as personal attacks unless it was their own idea. They are not very cooperative with others except when it glorifies them in some way in front of others.
Boasting and parading themselves is common and constant with those who desire to have elevated views of themselves. Working with these people is agonizing unless you say nothing and do everything they want.
Our world is growing in these selfish mentalities only choosing to cooperate with others if it benefits them in some way, giving them elevation in the eyes of others. Those who are like this never do a good deed unless they are sure others will find out about it.
Matthew 6:1-2 "1“Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their full reward.…"
Those who know the Bible but do not follow it will be like the Pharisees, white-washed tombs always parading themselves to be superior.
Matthew 23:4-6 "…4 They tie up heavy, burdensome loads and lay them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them. 5 All their deeds are done for men to see. They broaden their phylacteries and lengthen their tassels. 6 They love the places of honor at banquets, the chief seats in the synagogues,…"
These people become angry when they are not the center of attention in every gathering. Sadly many of these people are in the church today.
May we be those who constantly read the Word of God and self-reflect to see if we are walking uprightly with integrity that glorifies God and not ourselves.
Crucified with Christ
Galatians 2:20
"20 I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and [a]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me."
Romans 3:22
"And this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no distinction,"
Galatians 6:14
"But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."
