This morning I read about two prophesies. One was against Mount Seir and the other was to the Mount of Israel. Two very different prophesies. One is pouring out wrath on a people and the other is giving grace to a people that deserve as much wrath as the first people. The ways of the Lord are a mystery and I certainly don’t claim to have some additional understanding that others don’t have. Certainly the Lord has His Glory in mind and each prophesy brings Glory to His Name. The Lord’s ways are truly amazing, but I keep coming back to verses like verses 24-28 of chapter 36. He will make us clean from all our uncleanness and He will go one step further by putting His Spirit within us. Then He goes one step further by replacing our hearts and minds with new ones and even goes to the extent of giving us a new country to live in. Our proper response is in verse 27 and 28 which is obedience and worship. Obedience and worship seems so easy, but in fact is impossible without the Spirit of God.
All for His Glory and for none of mine!

Thank you for your meditation on this passage brother. Isn't His mercy all the more incredible, amazing, and indescribable in light of His righteous and just wrath. Praise God for the cross of Christ!
