The glory of God:
"Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, 'The Lord, the
Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in
lovingkindness and faithfulness; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands,
who forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin; yet He will by no means
leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the
children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generation.' "
Men and nations are always trying to erase that last phrase: "yet, He
will by no means . . ." Oh, how they pine for a world without
consequences--a world where "you reap what you sow" is not true. Such a
world has never existed and never will. Read your history books. Read today's paper. Watch today's news.
And what if as a lover of
God I get "caught up" in the consequences? Be a Daniel. Be an Esther.
Make His compassion, grace, patience, lovingkindness, and forgiveness
known. Change the world in His Name. "Do all to the glory of God."
