"Have you no respect for me? Why don’t you tremble in my presence? I, the LORD, define the ocean’s sandy shoreline as an everlasting boundary that the waters cannot cross. The waves may toss and roar, but they can never pass the boundaries I set." ~Jeremiah 5:22, NLT
Sometimes God sends calamities to wake His people up. Sometimes the ones who should be following Him the most ardently are the ones who turn their backs when it counts. It is then that God says the above verse - to remind them, and to warn those who haven't turned. God isn't a teddy bear, lovey-dovey and one who never gets angry but always turns a blind eye to our mistakes. He's God.
He loves us more than we could know, and He is slow to anger, and He forgives our mistakes when we confess them and repent of them. He's still God, the one who defines the ocean's sandy shoreline, who created tectonic plates and dinosaurs. The only thing we have to fear in life... is God. Who loves us.
Remember that.
