The consuming fire of God!

“Who knows the power of Your anger?
For as the fear of You, so is Your wrath.
So teach us to number our days,
That we may gain a heart of wisdom.” Psalm 90:11-12

This Psalm was attributed to Moses and reflects the personality of God and His attitude toward believers. Moses understood the anger of God and the importance to walk in His ways.

God is very jealous and His jealousy is like a consuming fire. He becomes aroused with anger and jealousy when you and I worship other gods or idols.

He is the Creator and has power and authority over all things. He wants you to worship Him alone and have no other gods or idols before Him. God wants you to turn to Him in time of trouble and rely on him for your every need.

Jesus uses the analogy of little children to explain how to enter the kingdom of God. Like a young child, you learn to be submissive to your Father, teachable, and willing to change your ways.

God does not want to share you with anyone else. He wants all of you. He does not want an off and on relationship. He died so you can live with Him.

When you turn away from God and reject His precepts you are inviting destruction and misery to come into your life.

God wants you to fear Him for who He is and live with respect and honor for His name. You must be sensitive to the power of His anger and recognize that He is a God of retribution. He blesses and He curses!

Life is like a vapor trail! God desires to fill your heart with wisdom and lead you under His canopy all the remaining days of your life.

There is no one like Him!

Thought for the day:

“My desire is for you to love Me with all your heart and walk in My ways. Come unto Me like a little child to his father and I will teach you about Myself and pour out My Spirit upon you.”
