outrage?

Do you have a highly developed sense of outrage? Does it serve you well? Much of what passes for righteous indignation is not righteous, and in the end, outrage is just rage. You see offenses that are real and egregious, and face the temptation to rise up in response, but the righteousness of God is not accomplished by the wrath of man. I rebuked my own disciples who wanted to call down fire from heaven. I have called you to be a peacemaker, that you may be my child. A soft answer turns away wrath. I want you to experience my peace that surpasses understanding even in the face of provocation that you may be an agent of grace to move in my redemptive purposes.
