Zechariah 12

How many times have we wounded God? We obviously know we can not actually wound the Creator of the universe, but we can still hurt him emotionally. Yes... the All Mighty One has emotions and Yes, he feels pain when we choose not to obey or not to live this life according to his word. How many times have we taken him for granted. How many times have we pierced him with our words and our actions.

 

It seems very clear, as the father, he tries so hard to train us up in the way we should go. Just as many of you fathers have known the right path for your child, but while you long for that bond and that love, your child does not always make the right decisions and it hurts. All you want is the best for your child. All you want is for than young boy or girl to grow up and live a healthy and fruitful life. Unfortunately, children do not always look through the eyes of the father. We as children don't always see life through OUR FATHERS EYES.

 

Though we are still children and find ourselves daily falling short of perfection, (as were are all human) we see God still choosing to deal in the affairs of men. It was so beautiful to see the adverse emotion taken toward the enemy of the children of God as they were being threatened.  In an instant, such swift action to protect and defend his children, much like many of you would do for your child even today. It would not take much for many of you fathers to "come un-glued" if someone meant to bring harm to one of your children.

 

What a good father. What a loving father. How merciful and mighty is he. What a passage of love. That father that can discipline and lead, comfort and defend with the same hand... His hand of righteousness. This is a great example of the love of our father. Even in these last days the word says his chosen people will be persecuted, mocked, and even threatened... but we know what he has in store for any who appose him. Praise God! He is all Powerful and sure to take care of his children. I don't want to hurt him and I don't want to wound him anymore. God help us to see this world through your eyes so we can make the right choices and draw closer to you.   .................Remember Today Guys ...................... Gods Got Your Back!
