Can one image how angry The Almighty God is? I don't think it is humanly possible to feel that kind of anger. This wrath I spoke of in my last blog is something we just can't wrap our minds around. It really is a kind of wounded being feeling. A mixture of extreme sadness with a rage. It is also one of action. Something the wounded one has to lash out to the one who wounded Him. I don't want to be around when that happens.
In my years here, I have come to see things the way He sees things. I understand why He feels this wrath. But I don't ever want to feel that wrath on any level.
I weep often when I see people sinning and not caring for others. This callousness is becoming more common than one would think. It is everywhere. We must look to our Lord and hide ourselves under His wings.
Times are getting worse and so are the people. We must study His Word each day for guidance. We must die each day and cling to The Holy Spirit.
If you have a need He is there to listen. If you call on His Name, Lord Jesus Christ, He will hear.

Righteous Indignation
The passed year had brought many feelings of anger. I was angry at the president ,the government and now the people. Oh yes the people.
I came to the conclusion that the public institutions, that we the people, have instituted, have spoiled our way of life and more importantly, our thought processes. Becoming LAZY, we have not turned our eyes to the one book of importance, The Bible!
Do you know why people don't want to read The Bible? It's because they don't want anyone telling them how they should behave or think. Especially God! After all, He is just the Creator of all living and non-living things.
I think this righteous indignation came when I was constantly being told they don't want to hear anything I said. Oh, they were subtle about it, sometimes. But that was ok. After all, I could understand the grating I have on some people. And actually ,it wasn't about me or my feelings. I was dead. But I soon came to life again when He was being reviled by so many. The news, the commentators, the books and articles written.
Then when I hear my own president, Well I have just lost it. I am not sure I will ever be the old me again, not that it was special, but that I was 100% sold out to Christ.
I am not sure that angry is even the correct word I am feeling. Maybe WRATH! Yes ,that's it WRATH. Now that is a word isn't it. Filled with ACTION!
