Psalms 66:3-4 Say unto God, How terrible art thou in thy works! through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. All the earth shall worship thee, and shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah

It is hard for me to think of the Lord or His works as terrible. But to the enemies of God that is exactly what He is. To be Gods enemy, is the ultimate deception. To make the decision to hate something that you neither know nor understand, baffles me. Because if you truly know God, you know that He is good. This life is not always good, but no matter, He is good. To have that knowledge in the midst of this life, I have no problem worshipping Him. Worship is an intense feeling. You cannot truly worship half heartedly. That is why it says in Revelation 3:16, So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.

When I think about the scripture that says, every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess, I have thought of it in the way that, almost begrudgingly, they will admit the sovereignty of God. But reading this passage in the Psalms, that is not the posture of their heart. Those that have made God their enemy, will 100% completely, recognize Him as Lord. Their souls will know with the most intense passion they have ever felt, that He is God, He is good, and He is worthy to be worshipped. And they will worship Him. They will praise Him with song and with complete understanding. Their hearts will simultaneously worship and weep, because at that time they will fully understand who He is. They will fully understand the depth of Satans deception. I cannot imagine the pain and grief that they will feel. The word regret does not even begin to express it. And with that knowledge, my own heart weeps. As an empath, I truly hurt to think of people that I know, that have no concern for God at all, and their reality on that day. It will indeed be a great and terrible day!

As I write this, my intention is not condemnation.I pray that you would consider the one you call Lord, or the enemy that you have made Him out to be, and search your heart for what it is exactly, that He has done to cause your rejection of Him. If you call Him Lord, but do not love Him, and worship him, then by default you reject Him. God will not send you to hell. You will send yourself. And He will allow it. This does not make Him bad or unfair. It will be the result of your own choice.

¹⁶ For God so loved the world, that He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

¹⁷ For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.
