We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

God who has all authority, can and does delegate that authority to others, but when He does so, that authority remains His. He does not give it away. It does not change ownership. He does not divest Himself of authority. It is still His, but somebody has been delegated to exercise a portion of His authority on His behalf (Anthony Forsyth).

The biblical writers habitually use for the divine wrath a word (orge) which denotes not so much a sudden flaring up of passion which is soon over, as a strong and settled opposition to all that is evil arising out of God's very nature.
