In today’s reading we continue to see God’s judgment against those who are against Him. I have often wondered the purpose of these types of passages in the Bible. They always seem so depressing and paint such a harsh picture of our loving God. But when I realize this is God’s way of comforting His people, it makes more sense. When we look at the injustices of this evil world, it is easy to wonder where God is. However, when we see that God will ultimately be known and the evil will be punished, we can relax and know God’s timing is perfect and there is purpose in His timing. We must trust in Him and know He has it under control.
