These are hard chapters to
read, God rending judgment on an entire people. I struggle with chapters like
this and I suspect most people struggle with chapters like this,
too.
I sit early in the morning.
I find myself contemplating the judgment of God. God was seeking vengeance on
Midian for their seduction of Israel
Even though I do not like
this kind of a message, God is reminding me that He will have His day of
vengeance over those who do not believe and particularly those who try to seduce
people away from the truth.
Today’s reading is not a
pretty sight. God’s final day of vengeance and judgment will not be pretty
either.
I find myself thanking God
for the faith in Jesus I have and praying for those who do not yet believe. I
pray that their eyes will be opened and they will come to know the truth of
God’s love, mercy and grace…
Oh, Lord, may
it be so. May Your glory cover the earth as water covers the seas. May my life
be a living testimony to Your love, faithfulness and grace. I pray in Jesus’
name. Amen.
