WHEN GOD IS ANGRY Monday November 30, 2015
Text: Micah 1:1 – 7 Memory verse: v 4
The people and the earth were summoned to draw near and give their attendance, as upon a court of judicature because of what He will do to nations for their evil and wickedness. He declares the destruction first of the one kingdom, and then of the other, because of their manifold wickedness, but chiefly because of their idolatry. And to this end he notes the wickedness of the people, the cruelty of the princes and governors, and the allowing of the false prophets, and the delighting in them.
Micah used the imagery from earthquakes and volcanic agency (4:4), to describe the terrors which attend Jehovah's coming in judgment (compare Judges 5:5). “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” so says Hebrews 10:31. Many of us undermine God and what He can do because He is Love. He is also a very Jealous and consuming fire. We should avoid whatever may attract God’s anger because we will be crushed.
Food for Thought: No one can secure himself against the judgments of God.
Prayer: Lord God, do not vex your anger on me but show me your mercy.
