Is God Angry?

I don't know about you, but I am certainly glad that I was not born in Old Testament times. Our scripture this week highlights the wrath God had in those days against the enemies of His people. I'm not so sure I would have been on the right side of the line every time! ...What we do know for sure is that through Christ, God's anger is satisfied. However, we also know that he is still very angry at our real enemy... Satan, the devil, Lucifer, whatever you may prefer to call him. Be assured that God's wrath is targeted in Satan's direction on your behalf. He is very serious about protecting you.

Tuesday, March 30 Psalm 68: 20-23 20 Our God is a God who saves! The Sovereign LORD rescues us from death. 21 But God will smash the heads of his enemies, crushing the skulls of those who love their guilty ways. 22 The Lord says, “I will bring my enemies down from Bashan; I will bring them up from the depths of the sea. 23 You, my people, will wash your feet in their blood, and even your dogs will get their share!” The Old Testament is a testament of ‘types and shadows’, taking the practices in the Old Testament and applying New Testament principles. In these scriptures, see the enemy, not as people, but as the principalities and powers of the unseen world of darkness. Ephesians 6: 12, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world, and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.” Today, notice the juxtaposition of what God wants to do for you, his child, and what he will do to the enemies of your soul, your household, and your friends. He is that passionate about you! Record your responses.
