All that is in God is everything we can not lose. 

Dear friends. The psalmist began with "you", "you", "you" when he praised God. This could be used as a perfect opening to cooperate prayer. God's favor is not only in history but also at present because of his love in Jesus Christ to us. God withdrew his anger so that we can live. His righteous anger is pure, eternal, characteristic, of him. His anger is simple and holy, but our anger is selfish and complicated. I know Jesus who is eternal righteousness took on flesh and absorbed all the wrath God should have shown to his mortal enemies, us. It still takes a good systematic theological reading to articulate this wonderful story well. We know it is true. It is true and wonderful. 

We have shared everything Jesus shared with us through his incarnation and resurrection except enduring the pain of having God being angry with us.  This is worthy of a good and continuous reflection.
