12 Worship Notes: t seems that e can become so attached to our ideas hat right that e can take fense at God Throughout Scriptures, e are taken aback at ay God orks. At times it s cfusg even repulsive (take story Job for example). Jah should be a soberg remder that our natural reacti to God s providence ten ide mark. We assume ickedness should be met ith fire brimste hile goodness should be met ith blessg. Shouldn t God smite ene h, ait e ere ene Thank Lord that He has not dealt ith us as e deserve Perhaps e should take a step back der if e have rightly understood purpose God s decrees. Th alarmg passage shes a piercg light up our hearts hypocry. ur sung respse must be e repentance, orship, ae, thanksgivg. Nathan Key Words: Keyste Verse: Relented, Dpleased, Angry, Gracious, Merciful, Aboundg You are a gracious God merciful, slo to anger aboundg steadfast love, relentg from daster.
