Psalm 78:39-49

Psalm 78:39-49
English Standard Version (ESV)

  God hates sin.
  Sin is the evil force tearing at the underbelly of God's good creation.  God loves the world and the people within it, and when sin destroys our lives and the world, it makes God angry.
  When God is angry, God lashes out at the forces of evil, threatening their very existence.
  When people cling to those forces and refuse to repent, they find themselves threatened by God's wrath.
  When we turn to God and plead for forgiveness, there is grace for us, compassion in the face of our sin.
  We have a choice to make, and when we look at the expanse of God's love, it should be an easy one.

May we have the wisdom to trust in the God of love
