You have taken away all Your wrath; You have turned from the fierceness of Your anger. Restore us, O God of our salvation, And cause Your anger toward us to cease. [Psalm 85:3-4]
Before Christ, the Jews longed for God to turn His anger from them, after they have repented. But as God swore that never again will He destroy the earth with a flood (confirm plus chop), He also swore that He will never be angry with us not rebuke (condemn) us, Isaiah 54:9-10.
(Sidenote: God does discipline those whom He loves, Hebrews 12:6, but the Hebrew word for that in Isaiah is the word used in Zechariah 3:2 where it says, 'The Lord rebuke you, Satan!')
God is not angry at you today!
