Before the Altar part 12

Seeing the destruction of Israel traceable to those actions gave me a wake-up call to realize who is it that I really follow. Am I following the God who Saves, or am I following man-made gods of those who want to lead but who do so with stipulations attached, those who say repent and be baptized and...or those who say all you have to do is pray Jesus into your heart and send us $25.00 and you'll be saved? That is the quickest way to cause impurities to be on God's altar, and what God desires to know is am I following this or am I following just Him? I must watch my ways, for while it may not seem as though He is there, God is watching my every move, every action, and know my every motive. God knows my every attitude, good or bad. is it OK to have a bad attitude. Sure, but deal with it. It's neither good nor bad to feel, its just human, but when it becomes good or bad is when we allow that emotion to control our actions. Do I have enough self-control to behave in a God-like manner even when those around me don't? God knows and He forgives when I fall. But I must learn from my mistakes or He will not pick me up one of those time and I will not only skin my knees ut I will hurt my ribs. So what does my attitude need to be? Well, I like Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:8 as he looks to God to heal him. And God can heal me of all things, I just have to admit that I am wrong or even if I have a right to be angry, I have no right to act out that anger via violence either verbal or physica. Because when I deliberately set out to hurt someone what is the difference between my "righteous" anger and someone else's selfish anger?
