The Eagle and the Arrow by Aesop

An Eagle was soaring through the air when suddenly it heard the whizz of an Arrow, and felt itself wounded to death. Slowly it fluttered down to the earth, with its life-blood pouring out of it. Looking down upon the Arrow with which it had been pierced, it found that the shaft of the Arrow had been feathered with one of its own plumes. “Alas!” it cried, as it died, “We often give our enemies the means for our own destruction.”

Psalm 30 – Making God angry

Sing praise to the LORD, you His godly ones, And give thanks to His holy name. For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for a lifetime; Weeping may last for the night, But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

Have you ever made God angry? I would guess that we all have at some point. David made God angry on multiple occasions, but he described God’s anger as lasting for only a moment. Even when we mess up it is important that we return to God because his favor is lasting.
