The might of the Lord

Jeremiah 16:21 says, Therefore I will teach them my power and might. They will know that my name is the Lord. (NIV) The Message bible says, They will know that my name is I Am. In this verse God is talking to Jeremiah about what he is going to do to punish Israel for there sin. It wasn’t this verse that got my attention but an attribute to this verse that came from Chad Wright. Chad rights:

Ultimately we’ll all worship the might of the Lord. We will bring him glory, wether through our salvation through Christ, or by our judgement and condemnation. ( Chad continues with this thought.) I think a healthy fear of the Lord comes from verses like this. I’m in awe of his power. It’s beyond what we can comprehend.

Wow, what a statement. We will bring glory to God wether it be through salvation or condemnation. It doesn’t matter if we know the Lord or not, it doesn’t matter if we love the Lord of not, it doesn’t matter if we have a relationship with Christ or not. I hope that you have have these things, but if you don’t in the end you will glorify God in the end, because his will be done. I am not going to elaborate on this, but I really liked the statement, and I wanted to pass it on for you to think about.
