It's Dr. God, Not Mr. God

Assumptions, as Murphy's Law states, are the "Mother of all mess-ups". It has happened to me that, during an important speech, like for example an NJHS induction ceremony, I confuse an important person's title for one that is lesser than the one the person rightfully owns. I believe I messed up Mr. Bookwalter for Dr. Bookwalter, a mistake I came into account of right after committing it. I now realize how demeaning it must be to be treated as something lesser than what one really is. I imagine God to feel wrathful when he was treated as a human who could be judged for his choices. God gets angry at Job for cursing him and in that way, implying that he's worthy of being cursed. He is not a human to whom one can simply insult without expecting repercussions. The beginning of his anger started with disbelief, as it usually does, when he questioned, "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?". God is obviously pissed off by his incarnation made by Job. Faith in the LORD must be unconditional, in the good as well as the bad times.
