The body slam is coming


Not too long ago there was a news story about this kid who was getting bullied in Australia.
The video went viral and it was on every major news channel by days end.

The kid that was being bullied was just standing there in an outdoor hallway while this smaller bully kept taunting him. The bully threw a couple of punches and the kid just stood there and took it.....

Until the kid decided that enough was enough.

The boy that was getting pushed around and taunted finally just grabbed the bully around the waist, picked him up in the air, and body slammed the bully down on the concrete.

Something snapped in that kid and he decided that he was not going to let the bully disrespect him any longer.....and when it was decided, it ended very bad for the bully, who had trouble getting his footing back, and limped off.

I don't know that bully, but I would be willing to bet that he has learned a lesson, and if he were speaking to you and I he would tell us, "Be careful who you disrespect, A body slam is coming".

You need this warning.
So do I.

Most likely, just today you poked God in the chest with your pointer finger and told him, "Look pal, I'm doing this thing my way"!
Most likely, just this week you got up in God's face and told Him, "You make me sick with all of your rules".
Most likely, recently you pushed God out of your way and said, "I don't need you in my life"!

You need this warning.
So do I.

God will take being pushed aside.
God can handle the disrespect of the finger to His chest.
God can shoulder the hurt of us edging him out of our lives.

But there comes a point when He is done being bullied by us.

You may not have received it yet, but if you are bullying God around, it's not too far away.

You need this warning.
So do I.

A body slam is coming.
