When to Hide From God

 


Go inside and lock the doors, my people. Hide there for a little while, until the Lord is no longer angry. The Lord will come out to punish everyone on earth for their sins. And when he does, those who did violent crimes will be known and punished.

Isaiah 26:20-21

Every human feeling and emotion originates in God, who made us in His own image. Even the ability to feel and express anger comes from our likeness to the Creator! When God gets angry, it is time to “Go inside and lock the doors.”

The reason you are angry about seeing mothers, little children, and even babies slaughtered in television reports is simple. You are made in the image of God.

God will punish all those who reject Jesus and His blood poured out on the ground beneath the Cross. God never asks His followers to take vengeance on those who sin. But God says He will repay.

You can be certain that the evil you see will not go unpunished. Either the Blood of Jesus will cover those sins, or the men who committed the crimes will suffer forever for them.

“Lord Jesus, help me trust You will deliver justice to everyone who sins. You either punish those who sin or cover them with Your Blood. Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen!”
