SLOW TO ANGER! Click and read.

 

 The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; the Lord hath his way in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust him. (Nahum 1:3, 7)

The Lord our God is truly mighty. None can match his majesty. Today He continues to tell us more about himself. 

“The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power.” What a combination of attributes. The Lord is slow to anger yet He is also great in power. Our God is a matured personality. He is the epitome of what the standard for measuring self-control is.  With all the power that He has, it is not in His nature to wield power at every provocation by man who is a mere mortal. This brings me to ask the question to us all. How much self-control do you exhibit when handling issues of provocation? If you are truly the true sons and daughters of the Lord then your self – control reading must be high.

“The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked;” God has so much power yet does not consume immediately because he is slow to anger. However the fact that he is slow to anger does not mean he will condone wickedness. Clearly he makes it known that he does not acquit the wicked. He has a great sense of timing in handling issues. Another question then is how adequate is our sense of timing in life’s issues? God will help us in Jesus name. If he does not acquit the wicked then it is safe to say that he equally ensures reward to them that are not wicked. The Lord is truly just.                                         

“The Lord hath his way in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.” Hallelujah! Hallelujah!! Hallelujah!!! He is great in power to the extent that he has his way in the storm. The demonstration of God’s power is evident even in the storm. WE need to note that the storm is not a palatable place to be situated because the environment where storms take place is usually very hostile. However that is the favourable situation the Lord sees to manifest His power.  God is truly amazing. This declaration is a major confidence booster. The fact that you may have found yourself in a storm-like situation should not in any way discourage you rather the Lord is drawing our attention to the fact that it is in the storm that His greatness is manifested.

  
Remember in the beginning of the book of Genesis it was in the midst of the time that the earth was without form and void that the Lord manifested His attribute as Elohim. The clouds are the dust of his feet. The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and he knoweth them that trust him. God is indeed good. When you are in trouble he takes the position of stronghold to ensure that we do not breakdown or lose our footing while going through trouble. Somebody give a shout of praise. Jehovah has the final say.
