DAILY READINGS: Leviticus 27; Psalms 142-143; Mark 11:1-26
Thou, even Thou, art to be feared: and who may stand in Thy sight
when once thou art angry? Psalms 76:7
Who knoweth the power of Thine anger? even according to Thy
fear, so is thy wrath. Psalms 90:11
The psalmist’s questions remind us that no unredeemed sinner
can stand before a holy God and survive. Who then could possibly
know the full anger of God? The Lord Jesus. He personally experienced
the full wrath of God for our sins. The billows and waves of
judgment fell on Him and He opened not His mouth. Rejoice believer;
you will never know the wrath of God (Rom. 5:9; 1 Thess. 1:10),
but will bask in His love forever. —Warren Henderson
Jehovah lifted up His rod – O Christ, it fell on Thee!
Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God; there’s not one stroke for me. —A. C.
