"Righteous indignation relates to something that is offending against God's glory, is in denial of God's law, and is harmful for other people." [Author unknown]
I wanted to share this little experience I had at church today.
After prayer team time, I walked around our church property to pray before service as I have done for past two years now. Well today, I was coming upon the back corner of our church's parking lot where our dumpster is located and usually, I just cut across that corner in front of this dumpster, but today, as I was approaching it, the Lord spoke: "Today, I want you to walk between the fence and dumpster and pray." At first I thought, is that you Lord, and wondered why, but when I got closer and thought to go my usual route, again I heard the Lord say: "NO, I want you to walk between the fence and dumpster and cover it in your prayers." So I did as instructed, not knowing why... squatters?
During the service and Pastor Phillip's message, he was preaching on faith but had a moment of "righteous indignation" and vented about finding a couple behind the church dumpster engaged in sexual relations, right there in our church parking lot! He rightfully experienced righteous indignation! I immediately understood why the Lord rerouted my prayer walk and had me cleanse it for him! How awesome is our God!
I am amazed daily by our Heavenly Father, nothing escapes his attention, just know. God bless.
