God and the Emotions of Men

August 25th, 2013 · No Comments

2 Chronicles 20:29-30 (New Living Translation)

29 When all the surrounding kingdoms heard that the Lord himself had fought against the enemies of Israel, the fear of God came over them. 30 So Jehoshaphat’s kingdom was at peace, for his God had given him rest on every side.

The surrounding kingdoms realized that the LORD had fought the enemies of Israel. No one wanted to be an enemy of Israel because no one wanted to fight against YHWH, the God of Israel.

Notice how God put fear, an emotion, into the hearts of men. God can put any emotion into the hearts of men. God can cause me to feel and react as He wishes.

God is truly powerful.
