FURIOUS
Today's reading: Jeremiah 24-26

"But you would not listen to me, says the Lord. You made me furious by worshiping your idols, bringing on yourselves all the disasters you now suffer." Jeremiah 25:7 NLT

Furious-exhibiting or goaded by anger; indicative of or proceeding from anger; giving a stormy or turbulent appearance.

Do you forget God can exhibit anger?

Even to the point of being furious?

Oh, there are those who would like us to believe it isn't in Him.

That He is only love.

That He is only mercy.

That He is only kindness.

That birds chirp, rainbows pop up and angels dance when He is around.

But the Bible tells us account after account of God's anger, against people-both His and those who go against His.

So why do we forget that?

Why do we choose to go against Him? To stir up His anger by ungodly choices? By making disobedient decisions?

To poke Him with a stick that we think is long enough for us to be safe from His fury?
