"See, the Lord has one who is powerful and strong.
Like a hailstorm and a destructive wind,
like a driving rain and a flooding downpour,
he will throw it forcefully to the ground."

God is Gentleness and He is Love but He's also our Strong Protector. We do not have to be afraid of whether or not He is able to protect us from those who try to destroy us, who try to steal our souls. Jesus is the Lamb of God, a quiet and gentle Sacrifice to restore His Kingdom, but He's also the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. He is fully able to overthrow evil and restore peace. If we think of a momma bear, she is able to defend her cubs with strength, but she's also able to gently care for them without harming them. God gave us these creatures to show us that strength and gentleness can coexist.
