Holy is the Lord

Habakkuk 1:13a - "Your eyes are too pure to approve evil, and You cannot look on wickedness with favor."

There is never a time in the history of sin that God has not had to look at a world filled with iniquity. In His wisdom and love, He has orchestrated ways that a holy God is able to put up with seeing the abominations that occur daily upon this earth. In this regard, He will never be able to approve the smallest iota of sin ever committed. That is why there will come a day of judgment when He will appease His wrath upon the disobedience of those who have not accepted His Son and His righteousness.

The furthest desire from God's heart is to have to judge mankind. He would much rather have a heart of mercy and grace to those He loves with all of His being. However, that day of reckoning is coming because anything less would be unjust. He must juxtapose His judgment with His mercy and forbearance He has shown for millennia. May we all hearken to Him in this age of grace and mercy, beloved of God.
