The Lord Is Fierce - Fiercely Devoted To You

My friends, do we sometimes picture our Lord Jesus as someone "soft"... , someone that is gentle...., mild and meek all the time...?

Do we picture him as someone who keeps quiet when others bully him, someone who smiles all the time and takes no offense at anyone even when they climb all over him..?

Well i do and it is not entirely wrong that the Lord really is a gentle and loving God. BUT he is definitely not weak and soft.

Consider the things He has done :

Who is the one who sent forth the flood and destroyed the whole earth except Noah and his family?

Who is the one whose fury burned against Pharoah and sends those horrible plagues to destroy the entire land of Eygpt except those where his people lived in?

Who is the one who created the mighty lion? Or the fearsome killer whales? Or the crocodile?

Who is the one who made the heavens? And also Hell...

My friends... the Lord is a might warrior... strong and courageous. He knows to fight and destroy... He knows to burned and wiped out his enemies. He is fierce..... and fiercely devoted in His love to you and I.

His love is so passionately strong that He dies on our cross.... not giving up but fiercely embraced the suffering for us... determined that He takes our place for us so that we can take His place in heaven.

He fiercely conquered that death that was meant for us and was raised Victorious!!

As the psalmist says : "One thing God has spoken. two things have i hear: that You, O God, are strong, and that you, O Lord , are loving." Psalm 62:11-12

Let's embrace God's passionate love for us today and enjoy the protection that He gives to us. That He is strong and He is also loving.
