2nd Monday of Advent. December 9, 2024 Moses Symbol=Tablets of the Law
Moses had a temper! His fuse was short, resulting in murder and smashing the tablets of the law written by God’s own finger. He ever begged God to rid him of these quarrelsome Israelites! There is such a thing as righteous indignation and just anger. How to tell the difference? Don’t be the person around whom one needs to walk on eggshells for fear of setting them off. There is a right way and a wrong way to express anger—lashing out and/or throwing things may feel good at the time but won’t change anything. Moses ran away into the desert because he killed someone in anger. Don’t be like Moses! Face your anger, breathe, and pray. Question: How do I handle my anger? Exodus 2:11-15, 32:15-20
