Write God’s Word
I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.
Genesis 9:13
We cannot pick and choose which parts of God we love. We are commanded in Deuteronomy 6:5, “You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” All of our being is to love ALL of God.
Grab your attributes list. What attributes of God do you see in verses 6:5-22? Which of these attributes are easy for you to accept? Which of them do you wrestle with understanding or even accepting?
The story of Noah and the flood is one of God’s wrath and judgement. Over time, we have softened it into a cute children’s story to perhaps soften the blow of what is really happening in the scripture here. BUT...if we are to truly love God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength, we must KNOW GOD and accept WHO He is. He is wrathful because He hates all unrighteousness, all sin.
Pray: Ask the Holy Spirit to reconcile any misconceptions you may have about WHO God is and lead you to the truth of God’s character in the scriptures. Ask God to reveal why His attributes of wrath and any others you may wrestle with are necessary. Ask God to realign your heart and will to His.
