BROODING: Brooding? Mumble, mumble, grumble, grumble, it's just not fair, that's not right, why, why, why? How much time have I lost running a negative mental loop over and over and over in my mind about some perceived injustice that has somehow unbalance my oh so cherished sensibilities. This constant thinking about some perceived wrong is "brooding." Why am I compelled to do this? I wonder if this comes from a heart of control, me taking every thought captive for me, and my perceptions, not taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ. Augh! Lord help me take every thought captive to the obedience of You, effectuating this transformation by the renewing of my mind to Your will, proving what is good and acceptable and perfect. Thank you God.


Jonah 4:3-4. "Therefore now, O Lord, please take my life from me, for death is better for me than life." The Lord said, "Do you have a good reason to be angry?" Jonah was brooding and angry, how self-centered was this?
