 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold up. How can God be jealous? Isn't jealousy a sin? When we think about jealousy, we tend to think of it being birthed out of fear or insecurity, but God's jealousy isn't like that. One reason that our jealousy is sinful is that we desire something that is not rightfully ours. God's jealousy is good and just because we are His and He created us for His glory. He's not jealous for our stuff. He's jealous for our soul. His jealousy flows from the love of His own name and His desire for your joy to be made complete in Him.
