I have been reading the Prophets and Minor Prophets for a few
weeks. One thing that is undeniable,
Great Wrath is a name for God. Nothing
is exempt from His Scrutiny and eventual His Righting and by nothing I mean
NOTHING.
I sometimes make a pot and it has a slight flaw. I know it but I fire it anyway and then glaze
it and fire it again all the while conscious of its flaw. Sometimes I even live with the pot a while
secretly hoping it will find a sincere place in my life. However over time a strange thing occurs; the
flaw grows to overcome my sympathy for the pot, the flaw hasn’t increased but
my dissatisfaction with it has. I know
what a good pot is and living with a flawed pot is untenable. Here is what I do. I go outside and hurl the pot against a great
pile of limestone. It is cathartic, Lee Benson as great wrath.
