Theme: ''Jonah the man that was concerned for the wrong thing''
Displeased With God
Have you ever noticed how the same people that make you so glad can sometimes make you so mad?
The same bride and groom who can't stop smiling and laughing every minute of the honeymoon can later be heard 3 houses down yelling, ''You make me so mad!''
The same baby you once doted over hits the terrible twos or the terrible teens and suddenly the doctor has to increase the dosage of your blood pressure medicine.
One of the ways you identify your best friends is that you can both get mad at each other and still stay friends.
Some of the people who make you glad can really make you mad. Does this apply to God?
There's an old chorus we used to sing in the church I got saved in:
''He has made me glad, He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad. He has made me glad, He has made me glad, I will rejoice for He has made me glad.''
It was one of my favorites, because just singing it sometimes made me a little gladder. But there were times when it was hard to sing this song, because quite honestly, He didn't make me glad: He made me mad.
When I would pray and He seemed to ignore me; when I thought I needed something, and He didn't give it to me; when my life deteriorated into one big mess, and He didn't straighten it all out---then I confess to you, I'd get disappointed, frustrated, and even angry at the Lord.
I later discovered I was in good company, because the Bible tells us quite a few heroes of the faith got mad with God.
