What If God Was Quick-Tempered!!!!

I hope I don't step on any toes or make anyone mad but I was just sitting here thinking about what a wonderful God we serve. How patient and loving He is towards us. His mercy towards us is renewed every morning, because He loves us that much and He is so slow to anger{Psalms103:8}

BUT

I would not want to think what our life here on earth would be like if our God, creator of everything, was a quick-tempered God, instead of being slow to anger as it says in Psalms 103:8. Can you actually imagine what a chance we would take when we just slipped and said or did something very small that was not in line with what His Word said. It would be like walking on the proverbial eggs each and every day. Not many people would make it past noon each day when zap.........they'd be gone. Just a small slip or a sharp answer or reply and zap.....another one gone.

It would be so hard to please Him because we would know that if we did not get it right, He would be totally unhappy and we would know exactly what that meant. Life would not have any happy moments. People would concentrate too heavily on not discouraging our Lord God. This would make for a tense, unhappy and uniform life.

It would even be taking a chance just to say a prayer. For that matter, prayer could actually bring death if God didn't like how you prayed or what you prayed for. If you just thought you did something wrong and wanted to ask for forgiveness, that would be another antsy situation. Everything would have to be thoroughly thought out. Even our thinking would have to be carefully controlled.

I really don't think many people would make it a day much less a lifetime if our God was quick-tempered. But praise the Lord, He is slow to anger. He is patient, kind, gentle, forgiving, protective, extremely loving, peaceful and giving. All this was just a bit of thinking that hit me one morning when I was just wasting time. I thought it may be of interest so I grabbed a pen and wrote it down.

I hope no feeling were hurt but I hope that some thinking may have taken place or maybe some thinking may have changed. It's so good to be loved by God Almighty. He, that is creator of everything in the world and He still has time to love me and you as if we were the only people on earth. Just think this everyday........GOD LOVES ME!!!!!! It will make your days happier and easier to face.
