Yahweh is jealous. What feelings, thoughts or images does that statement evoke for you? For some, the idea of a jealous God is difficult because we bring our own ideas of what we think jealousy is to the Bible. But when God says he is jealous, it doesn’t mean that he is afraid or threatened, like our feelings of jealousy. It means he is protective of his relationship with us. He is passionate about his covenant with us. And he is inviting us into greater life and deeper relationship with Him.
