Psalm 30:4, 5 
“Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people; 
praise his holy name. 
For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; 
weeping may stay for the night, 
but rejoicing comes in the morning.”
(NIV)

Psalm 10 
“Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me; 
LORD, be my help.”
(NIV)

God’s anger toward those who love him is time-limited. His favor is timeless. 

Knowing these twin truths empowers us to live in purposeful freedom and joyful anticipation. 

Why does God get angry? 

His anger is kindled by the harm we do to ourselves and others. His anger is corrective more than punitive. It turns gripes, complaints, and insults into songs of praise. 

God’s anger redirects us. It reshapes us. It repairs us. It gets us moving in the right direction. 

God’s anger is a tool of his grace and mercy. It is one of his best gifts.

God’s anger and his correction wound us temporarily to bring us joy now and forever. 

God’s anger is measured in hours. His favor is measured in measureless existence. 

God’s anger turns wailing into dancing. 

God’s anger clothes us with joy. (See verse 11.)

God’s anger lifts our voices in praise.

God’s anger leads to eternal worship. (See verse 12.)

I will welcome God’s anger knowing he intends it for my good and for his glory.

Our Father, your anger is righteous and kind. It redirects. It renews. It is a mercy. Your favor lasts forever and is completely undeserved. Thank you for correcting me and redirecting me. Thank you for the joy that flows from these temporary woes. Amen.

Daily D – Luke 1:76-79

Luke 1:76-79 And you, my child, will be called a prophet of the Most High;
for you will go on before the Lord to prepare the way for him,
to give his people the knowledge of salvation
through the forgiveness of their sins,
because of the tender mercy of our God,
by which the rising sun will come to us from heaven
to shine on those living in darkness
and in the shadow of death,
to guide our feet into the path of peace.
(NIV)

Daily D – John 20:24-28

John 20:24-28 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

Daily D – John 18:10-11

John 18:10, 11 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) Jesus commanded Peter, “Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?”

Daily D – John 13:3-5

John 13:3-5 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist. After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.

Daily D – John 11:6

John 11:6 “So when he heard that Lazarus was sick, he stayed where he was two more days, . . .”
