The Word: Psalm 46:9-11

He makes wars cease
to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields[d] with fire.

10 

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

11 

The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

John 16:33

33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

 I love hearing the all powerful statements from both God the Father in the Old Testament and from Jesus in the New Testament. 

I just want to encourage you men to lean on this all powerful God that created the universe.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

A Liturgy For Experiencing Road Rage – From “Every Moment Holy” by Douglas Kaine McKelvey

If my hearth were more content in you, O Lord, 

I would be less inclined to rage at others. 

Let me gauge by the knot in my gut,

The poverty of my own understanding 

Of the grace that I have received

From a God who, loving me

Chose rather to receive wounds

Than to give them. 

Take from me my self-righteousness, 

And my ego-driven demands for respect. 

Overthrow the tyranny of my anger, O Lord,

And in its place establish a better vision

Of your throne, 

Your kingdom, 

And your peace. 

Amen. 

———

Although I rarely experience road rage I definitely experience other forms of anger. I love the comparison to the example that Christ led on Earth. He could have raged and kicked so many butts. In the end he chose to accept the wounds over giving them.
