'Why is God upset ? '
God has good reason to be upset considering that we so often forget or ignore Him. Worse than that is the times we disobey His laws and go against His wisdom. His standards are often rejected. This is summarized in one word - sin
However, God is not characterized by continual anger! He is angry with the wicked every day, but our God is a " Blessed God" ! (happy God). How can this be? This is true to His nature, but more so because He has overcome evil through the Lord Jesus Christ. The coming of Jesus into the world was God's design to conquer sin and set believers free from fear and the control of satan. The death of the Lord Jesus makes forgiveness possible, and God is 'happy' to forgive all who believe in His Son (Jesus). In fact the angels rejoice every time someone chooses to turn from sinful ways to trust in the Lord Jesus. So really heaven is a happy place and our God is a rejoicing God !!
Both the Old testament and the new describe this:
"Oh what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sins are put out of sight. Yes what joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of sin." Romans 4.7NLT
Will you be one of the many who can sing 'O joy of the justified , joy of the free.......'
In the end the song will be:
"Praise the Lord
for the Lord our God , the Almighty reigns
Let us be glad and rejoice
and let us give honour to Him"
Revelation 19.6
