Attitude

Ezekiel 24:13 (NIV)

...My wrath against you has subsided

Our attitude towards God and His relationship with us in Christ is determined by who we are. If we think God is mean and harsh, that's because that's who we are. To the faithful, loving and pure, God is always holy (Psalm 18:25-26). A son would always rejoice in his father's chastening (Hebrews 12:7) because that's exactly how God dealt with His only begotten, sinless Son (2 Samuel 7:14). Hardships and difficulties are part of the Christian life. Our attitude towards God in troubled times determines our standing in His kingdom.

If we think God is mean and harsh, that's because that's who we are.

I definitely think that can be one reason, but there can be a variety of reasons why someone thinks God is an angry God. I used to think God was this hateful God who was angry all the time, because that's how my earthly father was. Not because I was mean and nasty.

Remember, not everything is black and white.

Thank you for the post! It was super encouraging!

The fastest prayer I've ever had answered dealt with me mentally praying for help with my attitude. I don't think I was even finished with the prayer when a calmness came over me extinguishing my rotten attitude. It was truly awesome!
