Topic: God Gets Angry Too [Saturday 28, October 2017]
Memorise: “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” – Psalms 30:5
Read Psalms 30:1-5
1 I will extol thee, O LORD; for thou hast lifted me up, and hast not made my foes to rejoice over me.
2 O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.
3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.
4 Sing unto the LORD, O ye saints of his, and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.
Bible In One Year Luke 13-15. Hymn: Sing Hymn 11 – Standing On The Promises Of Christ
MESSAGE:
A truth catches one’s attention in today’s Bible reading; God can be angry! If this wasn’t the case the Bible wouldn’t have said; “For His anger endureth but a moment”. Jeremiah 25:6 further corroborates this fact by saying that the God of love can be provoked to anger. Having said this, we must also acknowledge the fact that His anger does not last forever. There is a condition though. When you don’t take God and His mercies for granted, and you genuinely turn away from your wickedness, He will deal with you as I you have never sinned before. When our relationship is cordial with God, we can boldly say like the Psalmist; “(due to the variable nature of life)”…but joy cometh in the morning.”
Prayer Point: Father, let my morning of joy come now.
