sin, no sin

School has started. More things to do... but will still try my best to post. =)

Psalm 74

God was angry with Israel and rejected the people He loved. Huh? I thought God is loving and merciful? Is it possible for Him to be angry with us and reject me???

God is slow to anger and is merciful, always forgiving our sins. But His patience can also run out if we persist in our sins. His patience? He is always waiting for us to respond to Him. But are we taking Him for granted? Patience may run out, love never end, but judgement will still come.

vs 8: People who hate God want to remove everything about God. But God is so powerful, He is God, no one can ever remove His presence. He is real. No matter where we hide, how we ignore Him, we can never leave His sight. He is always looking at you.

Sometimes we may feel that God is not there, but He is.... no one removes His presence remember. And we need to remember what He has done for us in the past, then we can be alive spiritually and continue trusting Him.

Psalm 75

vs 2: It is God who selected the appointed time and who judge with equity. He will act when His time comes. But we often cannot understand God's timing, always wanting things now. But God will do what needs to be done, not what we want Him to do. Wait for Him, dont take matters into our hands. Because when we do things in our own time, we may miss His perfect timing and the results may not be what He wants or we want. Often people fall and fail to receive God's blessings because of this.

vs 8: the cup represents God's judgement. The wicked will be judged, like drinking down to the dregs, which symbolises being punished completely. It's like drinking medicine, hopefully, with bits of it, we will recover and no longer need it. But if we keep on sinning, we will be spiritually sick. So we will need to drink the medicine, accept the punishments.
