I won’t always accuse,
nor will I be enraged forever.
1 JOHN 2:1 (CEB)
But if you do sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous one.
THE ESSENCE
God throttles his own anger as his love breaks through on our behalf.
DAILY FODDER
How does it change your life knowing that whatever anger God might have, it's not permanent?
PRAYER
God of creation, your holy law maintains the good order of all you have made. Turn aside from your anger, even though I deserve nothing better. Thank you for your Son Jesus Christ, who advocates on my behalf. May I always be an advocate for those without voices. Amen. (Daily Texts, Ground Up Grace edition)
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,

Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
