Chalmers, Thomas-Fury Not in God

Fury Not in God

Thomas Chalmers

“Fury is not in me: who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle? I would go through them, I would burn them together. Or let
him take hold of my strength, that he may make peace with me; and he shall make peace with me.”
ISAIAH 27:4,5

THERE are three distinct lessons in this text. The first, that fury is not in God: the second, that He does not want to glorify Himself by the death of sinners—“Who would set the briers and thorns against me in battle?” the third, the invitation—“Take hold of my strength, that you may make peace with me; and you shall make peace with me.”
