WHEN GOD SHOWS NO ANGER

"For whom the Lord loveth He chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom He receiveth." -Hebrews 12:6

There cannot be a greater evidence of God's hatred and wrath--than His refusing to correct men for their sinful courses and vanities! Where God refuses to correct--there God resolves to destroy! There is no man so near God's axe--so near the flames--so near Hell--as he whom God will not so much as spend a rod upon!

"As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:

be zealous therefore and repent." -Revelation 3:19

God is most angry--when He shows no anger! Who can seriously meditate upon this, and not be silent under God's most smarting rod?

-preacher Thomas Brooks (1608 – 1680 A.D.)
