In what ways can acknowledging God's anger influence our daily decision-making? Verse in Focus “Who knows the power of Your anger? Your wrath matches the fear You are due.” — Psalm 90:11 Why God’s Anger Deserves Our Attention • God’s anger is real, righteous, and proportionate to His holiness • His wrath reveals how seriously He views sin and rebellion • Understanding this truth guards us against casual attitudes toward disobedience Ways Awareness of Divine Anger Shapes Daily Choices • Aligns priorities: remembering judgment moves eternal matters to the top of the list (Ecclesiastes 12:13) • Cultivates wisdom: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge” (Proverbs 1:7) • Inspires holiness: avoiding actions that invite wrath (Colossians 3:5-6) • Encourages integrity: knowing we will stand before Christ’s judgment seat (2 Corinthians 5:10-11) • Strengthens gratitude for grace: His just anger highlights the depth of Christ’s atoning work (Romans 5:9) Daily Practices Flowing from Holy Fear • Start the day with confession and Scripture, acknowledging God’s authority • Before decisions, ask whether the choice honors His commands and character • Reject attitudes or media that glamorize sin, seeing them as objects of divine anger • Serve others quickly, valuing the time God graciously gives (Psalm 90:12) • Speak truth in conversations, fleeing deceit that provokes His displeasure (Proverbs 12:22) Supporting Verses to Keep Close • Hebrews 12:28-29 — reverent worship toward a consuming fire • Proverbs 14:27 — the fear of the LORD as a fountain of life • Romans 11:22 — considering both kindness and severity • 1 Peter 1:17 — living in reverent fear during the earthly sojourn Outcome of Living with This Perspective • Decisions gain weight and clarity • Temptations lose appeal • Worship becomes heartfelt gratitude • Lives display a steady, joyful seriousness that points others to Christ |
