Shalom! I just feel in the spirit that I should encourage someone who is about to give up this season.. At times you pray and read the word, but you feel as if God is not saying something. God is never silent and His anger is just but for a moment. The title of my message is: "HIS ANGER IS TEMPORARY, BUT HIS MERCIES ENDURE FOREVER
" The scripture says, 31. " Kept on God's care: the Lord won't reject Him forever. 32. Kindness prevails: Even though God torments sometimes, the greatness of God''s loyal love wins out. 33. Keeping us down: It is not the desire or way of God's heart to hurt and grieve the children of men." ( Lamentations 3:31-33 VOICE).
Hope is realized when the next generation of exiles in Babylonia receive God's mercy and are brought back to the promised land, Palestine, in a second exodus, a journey not unlike what the Israelites experienced as they left Egypt under Moses's leadership.
God surely causes grief and torment, but He also provides kindness that originates from His heart of compassion. The discipline administered by the heavenly Father hurts, but the pain is not lasting and actually reflects His compassion.
When the Lord sends affliction, it is instructive, restorative, and temporary. ( 2 Timothy3:16-17). Affliction and judgement may sometimes come from the Almighty, but what always springs from the heart of God is deep and eternal mercy for His people.
Although the Lord had been angered by the children of Israel and allowed them to be held in captivity for many years under the Babylonian rule, He later had compassion for them and they were delivered and set free.
We are sometimes tormented and troubled by demons and other storms of life, but the Lord is quick to rescue us and set us free. So whatever challenge or problem you are facing right now, will not last forever, it is temporary and it shall come to pass.
Psalm 30:5 says, " His wrath, you see, is fleeting, but His grace lasts a lifetime. The deepest pains may linger thoughts at night, but joy greets the soul with the smile of morning. "
Indeed joy comes in the morning after a night of torment, persecution and suffering.
God's mercies endure forever. ( 1 Corinthians 10:13, 2 Corinthians 4:8-18).
Temporary is the Lord's anger, but permanent are His everlasting mercy and love.
Stop worrying and panicking, you are coming out of that situation in Jesus's name -AMEN!
The Lord is in control of your situation.
Just be still and know that He is God. (Psalm 46:10)
The Lord will fight all your physical and invisible battles! ( 2 Chronicles 20:14-15).
Live a hopeful and joyful life!
May God richly bless you all!
