Righteous Anger


In the Spirit of God, I find myself incensed.  I dare not bring accusation, for no good can come of it and it is forbidden.  But the desire to share is upon me.  May God grant what is good.

In Jeremiah 33, God speaks of his promise.  To give meat to his promise he speaks, if you will, as a man to a man.

20 “If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night no longer come at their appointed time, 21 then my covenant with David my servant—and my covenant with the Levites who are priests ministering before me—can be broken and David will no longer have a descendant to reign on his throne.”

In my feeble mind, a righteous anger appears.  How is it right that God should say such a thing: “If you can break my covenant. . .”?

How is it that the Righteous Sovereign God has been betrayed?  Yet this is as it is.  Such words are given as if to an enemy.  How is it that the Holy One should have an enemy?

Glory belongs to God, all Wisdom and righteousness too.  Who am I that indignency should appear on my soul?  I do not desire to give counsel to the Most High.  Nor do I desire to cast accusation, as if I hand full of stones into the raging sea.

But death has come among the things of God.  We testify by our very life and death.  There was a place where this was not so.  And by his great promise that place will be revived.

By this revelation I am impressed with the Holiness of God; his excellent patience and mercy.  But consternation at his plight consumes me.

Is this a whisper from the things that are?  Let the reader ponder.
