Lamentations 3-5; Revelation 15

In Exodus 34:6 we read that “... the Lord … is slow to anger…” but when he does get angry, nothing can prevent the outcome. The person who righteously understands this knows implicitly that the “.. fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Proverbs 1:7) and will measure what they do by what God requires. And we know that God’s standard is based on love. We are to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love others as we love ourselves. When we fail in this we have the sacrifice of the perfect lamb of God to restore us and keep us in the presence of God.
