"The Lord, whose name is Jealous"

Exodus 34:14
Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.




I had a wise father who sent me to a school that according to him "teaches right from wrong." (This was the answer that he could give a third grader when asked  why he sent us to this Christian School when he himself wouldn't believe in Jesus - ah, the burden that we were given since Grade 1.
He accepted Christ in his deathbed though.)

Today I am reminded of what he taught me about acquiring things that will never be stolen, which is wise of him..
and You Lord, reminded me that it was You who made him teach me so.


My father did leave something for us, thinking it would help..
You, Lord ,allowed them to be taken away..
Some friends did try to help us fight..
You, Lord, said, stop the case, let go.

1. Jeremiah 9:24

1. but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the LORD, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the LORD.

You wanted me to boast of this and this alone.
