10 But the Lord is the true God, he is the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation (Jeremiah 10:10).
I don’t suggest reading parts of Jeremiah in an effort to get cheered up. Jeremiah spends a lot of time warning the southern kingdom of Judah about pending judgments. As a result, Jeremiah was not a popular man. But the messages of a prophet are not meant to make the prophet popular, they are meant to rebuke and attempt to change the ways of hearers of the prophet’s words. And so verse 10:10 is a reminder and warning that God is God and His power is unimaginable. This is not a God to be messed with, crossed, or disobeyed. This is a God to submit to and to bow down before. We know that God is love too but we should make no mistake it is a fearful thing to be in the hands of an angry God. We cannot withstand God’s fury; therefore we should strongly desire to avoid, at all costs, this position. Call upon the name of the Lord and be saved-In mercy, He will save.
