Over The Shoulder

They shall walk after the Lord. He will roar like a lion. When He roars, Then His sons shall come trembling...Hosea 11:10a

All have experienced their parents yelling at them from time to time. Either utterance related towards intolerance or it may have simply been a call to gain your attention.
Father God, in likeness, “roars” to us His people too- yet His utterance is derived from His omnipotent divine love, no matter the form it is related to. The same roar of holy judgment is also the roar used for the purpose of calling, protecting, and blessing us.
Isaiah 31 shows the lion of Judah roaring, as a young lion over his prey, as a sign to the ones who want to run down upon him that he is not dismayed. All in all, the roar establishes a notification of an order being set. Predator against prey, abolition against enactment, or pursuit against refrain; a meeting of the feared and beloved is aroused. You may whence, you may even cringe, yet still His sons shall come.
Divine truth is earth shattering and the root of David, who opens the book, hath conquered. It doesn’t matter what side of the bed you got out of this morning because when you hear His voice, His utter; the Lord will be a shelter for His people, and will be strength for His children (Joel 3:16 ). To that I say let the bed posts fall to pieces on both sides. Arise and shine, for your light has come! The GRR∙REAT roar of heaven.
Peace and Amen.
