(Psalm 95) Not an empty word

For forty years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “It is a people who go astray in their hearts, and they do not know My ways.” So I swore in My wrath, “They shall not enter My rest.”

God is a God of love.  But the word ‘love’ can connote weakness, a sort of easy-going disposition that results from a lack of strongly-held convictions.

God’s love is not that kind of love.  He is compassionate, but He is certainly not without convictions.  Wrath is not an empty word.
