<p>Nahum 1-3:19</p>
<p>I don’t have any comments today but I do have a rhetorical question to ponder and it comes from the second verse in the first chapter:</p>
<p>The Lord is a zealous and avenging God; the Lord is avenging and very angry. The Lord takes vengeance against his foes; he sustains his rage against his enemies.<br />
(Nahum 1:2 NET.)</p>
<p>The LORD is a jealous and avenging God, the LORD avengeth and is full of wrath; the LORD taketh vengeance on His adversaries, and He reserveth wrath for His enemies.<br />
(Nahum 1:2 JPS)</p>
<p>In the framework of God’s character is jealousy and vengeance; however, we, the people he has made and his children are warned not to tread down that path. What is it about these two traits that makes them a part of God’s character and Holiness, but deadly for us?</p>
<p>I think if we took time to examine ourselves, our motives and to understand that jealousy and vengeance belong to God, we would get a better handle on keeping what is clearly to God, a good thing, but for us a very bad thing.</p>
<p>Just something to make you go “Hmmm.”</p>
<p>Grace and peace.<br />
