THE LORD’S ANGER
Psalms 68:1-2 (1) – God shall arise, his enemies shall be scattered; and those who hate him shall flee before him! (ESV)
God is merciful, considerate, loving and slow to anger (Psalms 145:8). But, He can be vexed! It is my prayer that none of us shall experience His wrath, in Jesus’ name. In the Book of Numbers 14:2, the Israelites murmured and Moses got provoked so that he overreacted (20:1-13). Then, God spoke: ‘Thou shall not enter the promised land’ (vs 12). Another example is King Nebuchadnezzar who boasted about his achievements. However, he was humbled because God resists the proud (Proverbs 16:18-19). This once great king lost his sanity and lived like an animal for seven years. After this period, Nebuchadnezzar was restored and he honoured the Lord (Daniel 4:28-37).
Further, as read in today’s Bible reading, when God arises, His enemies flee and melt like wax because nothing can withstand His wrath (Deuteronomy 4:24). However, who are God’s enemies? They are the forces of darkness which rebel against His children. Therefore, the question is: ‘If you are His bona fide child?’ Because if you live aright (Jeremiah 15:16), your adversaries become God’s opponents (Isaiah 49:25). On the other hand, if you are living in sin, remember that you cannot serve two masters. God hates sin (Proverbs 14:34); He is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11) and does not want us to operate under closed heavens (Isaiah 59:1-2).
Beloved, check yourself today and be a friend of God so that He can take over your battles! As you accept or rededicate to Jesus, you shall never perish because eternity is sure (2 Corinthians 5:17).
PRAYER
