An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
September 1
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYThe LORD hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD of hosts in the land of the Chaldeans. (Jeremiah 50:25)
Make sure that you are on the Lord’s side! His wrath is fiercer than one could imagine. When nations turned against the Lord, they experienced His weapons of indignation during the fierceness of His wrath. God permitted the Babylonians to become a strong nation and conquer the known civilized world. They even led away captive the people of Judah. For seventy years the Babylonians would be their masters. The Babylonians turned to idols and worshiped Bel, so the Lord brought them down and delivered that great empire into the hands of Darius the Median king of the Medes and Persians. Babylon then experienced God’s indignation. Aren’t you glad to be a recipient of God’s grace and love, and not His indignation? ~ DAILY BIBLE READING: Jeremiah 48-50
