“For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.” Psalm 30:5
For disclosure’s sake, how I find my Bible passages for commentary are through a random daily verse generator.
Howdy all! Just bullet time on this one today- expanding upon our theme that the Christian framework for the Universe is one that either sees Hell as a parable to explain suffering both as an offshoot of God’s love and an ignorance-born phenomena the root cause of which always, miraculously, lies with the individual, and therefore will be reliably recurring throughout history as successive generations are born because the “darkness” is mostly within…them, and will always be a temporary, Earth-based experience by its nature, or ultimately as simply “not real” is today’s passage from Psalms.
God’s “anger” is temporary- it’s transitive in that it is conditioning us back towards holiness/reconciliation/communion with Source (which mean’s that God’s anger is somehow righteous, but a nearly universal response to encountering it is to feel as if we are being somewhat wronged, and usually if we ask for things to get more fair/better they do so…) If Hell is an embodiment of God’s anger, just like the great flood in the parable of Noah and his ark…though the flood may come on, the flood will recede. If we turn to that parable, God even promises after a red-faced outburst of divine justice upon the Earth that he’ll never do it again…because he’s realized that he has killed just about everyone and everything. The lesson is is that’s no divine justice at all- compassion is the real way of the Supreme Lord.
Whatever forces of nature are conditioning us towards wise/sustainable action…they will not consume us.
There is no eternal separation from God because a line was crossed. The forces out there intending to bring the flock back together again in solidarity… they never stop trying to bring beings back into the fold. They never fail to bring beings back into the fold, and never could, because they are an act of God, who is supreme. That’s real Christianity, Christ supreme as the redeemer.
Weeping “may stay for the night” but “rejoicing” always “comes in the morning”. Negative experiences are fleeting and are intended to be short paths to sustainable bliss. The recognition of as much can really change your approach to this whole life thing <3.
Bliss...bliss we can expect to stick around. After all God's "favor" truly is meant to "last a lifetime" and does...everything that happens is about driving us towards sustainable bliss as individuals while we are alive. That's how the material universe works, that's what informs its processes. Bliss is synonymous with the Universe's plans. It's in this way that "anger" only lasts a moment- the Universe is merely getting back to sustainable bliss.

The little black lines on the brick face might actually be a code...
