Wow! Did you absorb the thoughts that could have prevailed from yesterday? Lucifer, not satan yet, was an anointed guardian cherub created by God. Break this down and think about it. If you had a million dollars just laying around at your home would you pick anyone to be in charge, the guardian of this money? God had much more, but he did not just pick anyone - the "ANOINTED" Lucifer to be the one over his (God's) throne and all he had --- UNTIL -- wickness aka pride came upon him.
If you had a million dollars at your house you would pick someone you had confidence in to guard it. Then, how would you feel if that person betrayed you.
Yes, wrath, and God has wrath as well, but not an impulse revenge, get even quick plan. This is not a sprint - but a marathon - and in the end who will sit with God?
Psalm 15 does a great job of explaining this. (NIV version)
A psalm of David.
1 Lord, who may dwell in your sacred tent?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
Who may live on your holy mountain?
2 The one whose walk is blameless,
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
who does what is righteous,
who speaks the truth from their heart;
3 whose tongue utters no slander,
who does no wrong to a neighbor,
and casts no slur on others;
4 who despises a vile person
but honors those who fear the Lord;
who keeps an oath even when it hurts,
and does not change their mind;
5 who lends money to the poor without interest;
who does not accept a bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things will never be shaken.
Take a moment and reread this Psalm; who will sit with God at the throne? Love you all.
Soli Deo Gloria
