Rebuke me not in thine anger

In Psalms, chapter six, verses one through ten, this is one of six penitential psalms for sorrows of sin that is under the prayer for mercy during trouble section, while the others are Psalms thirty-two, chapter thirty-eight, chapter fifty-one, chapter one hundred and thirty, and chapter one hundred and forty-three, respectively. The Holy Spirit inspired this prayer to encourage all who have suffered for a long time under the chastisement of God and who need pardon and healing.

The Lord hates the sin but loves the sinner. If only they could see what they were doing because they live in trespasses and iniquity. The unbelievers of disobedience are active in the world to fulfill the agenda of the evil one because they are spiritually blinded and unable to realize who is leading them. They live in their environment conversing in the lust of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and the mind that block out the opportunity of seeing God and succumbing to the truth of His Word. The anger of the Lord is against this because how can He reach them if this continues daily?

On the other hand, many come across something that interferes with their way of life. Unbelievers never expect something to occur when they find themselves in a situation that signifies the living God. They look, and the majority react with silence because the ungodly spirit currently possessing them knows who God is. After all, God is a Spirit, and so are the evil spirits. However, humans have freedom of choice of who they want to serve, and it angers the Almighty One that the truth is in front of them, but the fight to overcome the things of the world and selfish desires is the problem for most is the obstacle.

Another issue God is angry about when something goes wrong in our daily life is when people remember Him and use His name in vain. Examples of saying, “Oh my God!” Or “What in God’s name are you doing?” Exodus twenty, verse seven, states, “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.”
