The Wrath of God - Laura

       “Do not be deceived:
       God cannot be mocked.
       A man reaps what he sows.”
       -Galatians 6:7

God’s wrath and his justice are part of his personality.  The book of Nahum describes God’s wrath against Nineveh.  It’s not very long (only 3 chapters) but packed with retribution and vengeance:

       “The Lord is slow to anger and great in power;
       the Lord will not leave the guilty unpunished. 
       His way is in the whirlwind and the storm…
       His wrath is poured out like fire;
       the rocks are shattered before him.”
       -From Nahum 1

Fortunately, God’s personality is multifaceted.  He is a God of justice and wrath but also a God of Grace.  Thanks be to God!

Peace,
-Laura Cottrell
