Rightly Deal With Rejection rejection is the root cause of many crimes

Recommended Posts

A sense of rejection is the root cause of many crimes, says a study conducted by a NGO. Sometime ago, a school boy who got scolding from his teachers for not doing his home work, thought he was being rejected. The next day he stole his father?s revolver, went to the school and shot down some teachers and a couple of his classmates. And finally he shot himself. It was not rejection, but just a feeling of rejection and it caused such a calamity. Some of us must be feeling right now that we are no longer wanted in our family, in our workplace, or in the society. We may feel that we are being purposely neglected, and that we are not given the due honor or recognition. Some others may even feel that God is very unfair to them; That He is so partial and has rejected them. They try to run away from God. In today?s text, we see Moses intervening to correct an injustice done to one of his brethren, and as a result he finds that opposition springs up, resulting in rejection by his own Hebrew brethren, who has seen the incident. This led to his fleeing the Pharaoh?s palace into the wilderness, isolated from his own people for almost forty years! How painful! Yet, the Lord used this rejection for building steel into the character of Moses. Today we must also know that any sense of rejection should be dealt with the light of the scripture, in the knowledge that the Lord knows everything and allows them to happen only to strengthen us and make us better. We must not get dejected, rather be encouraged to know that the Lord is good and does only good. ?And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.?(Romans 8:28)

This rejection stuff, and reading Scripture (huh, I'm capitalizing this. Not because it's important, but because it's not "important" enough in common language.) is all fine and dandy. But remember, God and the Bible are there the help you through the situation, not drag your feet through.
