Living Passionately for God’s Glory- God, our Redeemer
While Israel's disobedience brought discipline, the Lord was superintending the whole process. He would place His chosen people under the rule and captivity of Babylon for their discipline - and their good. While Babylon gloated over their captivity and ruled over them with extreme force, the Lord was not willing to allow His tool of discipline to become a tool of destruction. He does this in our own life as well. He allows us to go through tough times for our own good - our own holiness. But as our Redeemer, He must save us, He is able to save us, and He does so as our Father!
