Anger in God’s Hands: David’s Prayer for Justice

Sep 21, 2025    Dr. JD Funyak

In this sermon, we're challenged to confront our anger in a godly way. Drawing from Psalm 140, we learn that it's okay to feel angry about injustice and evil in the world. However, we're called to direct that anger towards God in prayer, rather than taking matters into our own hands. The psalmist gives us words to express our frustration, but ultimately entrusts justice to God. This teaches us to guard against misusing our anger and instead allow God to transform it into compassion and courage. We're reminded that our role isn't to be political activists, but to advance God's kingdom through love, service, and the proclamation of the gospel. This message encourages us to examine how we handle our anger and challenges us to trust in God's perfect justice, even when the world seems chaotic and unfair.
