Stuffers And Projectors…

There are two kinds of people in this world when it comes to dealing with problems: stuffers and projectors. Stuffers surpress their feelings by keeping them inside. Over time, they will explode because they can’t keep it inside. Sometimes that’s an atomic bomb going off, but most of the time it’s slowly released in little firecrackers going off. Sadly, it’s commonly dealt with by medicating the body and mind. The projectors get it off their chest immediately. Commonly in the form of “cutting” or derogatory remarks. These people don’t mean to hurt others, but often do by getting it “of their chest” in a hurry. Either way, we learn here in Job chapter 10 that we can’t stuff our problems inside. We must learn to let off steam in a productive, and non-hurtful way. Without the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we are hopeless in our journey of learning to “handle life”. Without God’s help we are just one problem away from exploding. Pray for His help today. Ask Him for guidance on how to deal with your current issue. Another human being was never meant to be the target of our unresolved, emotional bombs. It has to come out, learn how to do it God’s way.

“I am disgusted with my life. Let me complain freely. My bitter soul must complain. 2 I will say to God, ‘Don’t simply condemn me–tell me the charge You are bringing against me. 3 What do You gain by oppressing me? Why do You reject me, the work of Your own hands, while smiling on the schemes of the wicked? 4 Are Your eyes like those of a human? Do You see things only as people see them? 5 Is Your lifetime only as long as ours? Is Your life so short 6 that You must quickly probe for my guilt and search for my sin?7 Although You know I am not guilty, no one can rescue me from Your hands. Job 10:1-7
