Our Good God is Against Things That Are Not

Proverbs 9:10 says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. God’s Word is truth, and with it comes glorious warning. Meditate for a minute on Isaiah 2:10,

“Enter into the rock

and hide in the dust

from before the terror of the LORD,

and from the splendor of his majesty.”

The splendor of His majesty. Be still my heart.

Some are teaching that God is love, so we’re all eternally okay. God’s Word says anything but that. God is love, so He tells us the right way. Apart from Christ, we cannot approach the High and Holy One. We don’t have to believe Him, but we won’t be able to say He didn’t tell us. Of the following we can be sure,

“The haughty looks of man shall be brought low,

and the lofty pride of men shall be humbled,

and the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.

For the LORD of hosts has a day

against all that is proud and lofty,

against all that is lifted up—and it shall be brought low;

against all the cedars of Lebanon,

lofty and lifted up;

and against all the oaks of Bashan;

against all the lofty mountains,

and against all the uplifted hills;

against every high tower,

and against every fortified wall;

against all the ships of Tarshish,

and against all the beautiful craft.”

Isaiah 2:11-16

Because God is good, He is against things that are not. Lord, thank You for telling us. Help us to love what You love, and hate what You hate. Help us to revere and hear You. We won’t rightly love people any other way.
