Tozer: the wrath of God

Wednesday, January 19, 2022
    Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095
Meditation:
    See, the day of the LORD is coming—a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger—to make the land desolate and destroy the sinners within it.
    —Isaiah 13:9 (NIV)
Quotation:
    The holiness of God, the wrath of God, and the health of the creation are inseparably united. Not only is it right for God to display anger at sin, but I find it impossible to understand how He could do otherwise.
    God’s wrath is His utter intolerance of whatever degrades or destroys.
    ... A. W. Tozer (1897-1963), Man: The Dwelling Place of God, Harrisburg, Penn.: Christian Publications, Inc., 1966, p. 111 (see the book)
    See also Isa. 13:9; Lev. 11:44; 19:2; 20:7; Deut. 6:14-15; Nahum 1:2-6; Eph. 1:4; Heb. 12:14; 1 Pet. 1:15-16
Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, fill me with intolerance for my sin. CQOD    Blog    email    RSS
