The other day, I was driving home from work, listening to a song by Tenth Avenue North. A line in the song says -
"He'll break open the sky to save those who call upon His name"
The adjective that comes to mind when I reflect on these words is destructive. That's why I decided to title this blog entry "The Destructive Nature of God's Love". It just feels destructive to me - in a good way.
These lyrics remind me of Psalms 18 in the Old Testament. The Psalm is a song of David describing how God had saved him from all of his enemies including King Saul.
It says-
God opened the heavens and came down.
Dark clouds were under His feet.
He got on the cherubim and flew.
The wings of the wind lifted Him up.
In these verses, I see God getting active. He takes action. He gets on the cherubim, punches it into gear, and hits the gas.
The Lord thundered from heaven.
The voice of the Most High God was heard.
He shot his arrows and scattered our enemies.
He sent great flashes of lighting and chased the enemies away.
God was loud, fired arrows and lightning, and scattered David's enemies. They couldn't contend with Him. God took care of business.
This is the destructive love of God. This is who is on your side. He will part the sky, jump down on cherubim, and take care of business. That is who He is. That is what He does.
