  The King Is Not Angry With You  
 

Proverbs 19:12
12The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion, but his favor is like dew on the grass.

The Bible tells us that the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seekingwhom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8) But have you ever wondered why heacts like a roaring lion?

It has something to do with a lion’s roar. In the Bible, the roaring of a lionspeaks of the king’s wrath — “The king’s wrath is like the roaring of a lion”. Sowhen the devil walks about like a roaring lion, he is trying to give you the impressionthat the King is angry with you. And when you believe that God is angrywith you, the devil knows that he has got you.

When you think that God is angry or displeased with you, you will not beconfident of His love toward you. Instead, you will expect and fear punishmentfrom Him. And you will want to stay away from Him because you do not wish toincur His wrath any further.

But the truth is that God is not angry with you, even when you fail or blow it,because all your sins have already been judged in the body of His Son at the cross.As the Lamb of God, Jesus became your burnt offering. That is why He said, “Ithirst.” (John 19:28)

Those who heard Him say that at Calvary that day thought that His thirstwas physical. Actually, His thirst was spiritual because He was being “burnt” bythe fire of God’s wrath. He was being judged for our sins. His body exhausted allof God’s wrath until every claim of God’s holiness was satisfied and His wrathappeased!

Now, there is a law called “the law of double jeopardy”, which states that thesame crime cannot be tried twice. Today, the fire of God’s wrath will never fall onyou as a believer because it has already fallen on His Son at the cross. He judgedyour sins then, but in the body of His Son.

So right now, you are not under the King’s wrath but His favor. And His favorrains down on you like dew on the grass every morning!
