Today’s Thought “Stormy Monday” G. Ward

 

“For I know my transgressions,
And my sin is ever before me.” Psalm 51:3

 

The implications of road rage can/will have very little to do with its victim’s lacking proper driving techniques. Unpreparedness (i.e. running late) most certainly could be the catalyst that embraces common decency exemplified; but I’m more inclined to believe that this kind of rage mostly emanates from lack of reconciliation from current or past relationships.

So many forego the training regimen necessary that lends itself to peace personified (cf. Eph.4:26). Instead, their presumptive attitudes demand you just move on command or decipher their calculating mindset. When that fails to happen, angry looks, finger gestures and obscenities flow from their beings. Moreover, there exists training for the victims. It’s comparable to an exercise taught unto us as small children; “stop, drop and roll!” While a literal fire may not be eminent, unnecessary confrontation will/can promote great combustion (cf. Pr.15:1, Jas. 4:1-6). Some would perhaps love to share a desired perspective (regarding how one should address road rage) with you, but they’re dead…

Happy Monday!
