The Lord's anger frightens me. I don't like reading about it and I'm not sure why. I don't know if that is because I only know the loving, gracious God who sent a savior, or if I am just ridiculously naive. I guess I am in both situations.
That scares me. Am I supposed to know the anger? The Lord is slow to anger, right? Is this how he is with all those that don't believe in Him, or is it just those that outright deny him? So, Psalm 7 leaves me with questions.
If a man does not repent, God is ready with fire, with a bow and arrow. David talks with such ferociousness about the swift wrath and justice of God. Followed by thanks to the Lord. It seems wrongs to give thanks for wrath. The title is "In you do I find refuge", so it seems really strange to take refuge in that God. I understand that I may not fully know this anger because I do take refuge in Him. I do know Christ therefore, I repent and am saved. And I do recognize sin. So, justice? I see the great Judger. The one who remains righteous.
